In the students,
12 of the students like chickens,
110 of the students like lizards and the rest like spiders
- What fraction of the students like spiders?
- Given that 9 more students like chickens than spiders, find the number of students in the class.
(a)
Fraction of the students that like chickens and lizards
=
12 +
110=
510 +
110=
610=
35Fraction of the students that liked spiders
= 1 -
35=
55 -
35=
25(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like chickens and fraction of the students that like spiders
=
12 -
25=
510 -
410=
110Total number of students = 10 u
Number of students that like chickens more than spiders = 1 u
1 u = 9
Total number of students
= 10 u
= 10 x 9
= 90
Answer(s): (a)
25; (b) 90
