In the students,
12 of the students like hamsters,
110 of the students like hedgehogs and the rest like rats
- What fraction of the students like rats?
- Given that 6 more students like hamsters than rats, find the number of students in the class.
(a)
Fraction of the students that like hamsters and hedgehogs
=
12 +
110=
510 +
110=
610=
35Fraction of the students that liked rats
= 1 -
35=
55 -
35=
25(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like hamsters and fraction of the students that like rats
=
12 -
25=
510 -
410=
110Total number of students = 10 u
Number of students that like hamsters more than rats = 1 u
1 u = 6
Total number of students
= 10 u
= 10 x 6
= 60
Answer(s): (a)
25; (b) 60
