In the students,
12 of the students like spiders,
110 of the students like hedgehogs and the rest like tortoises
- What fraction of the students like tortoises?
- Given that 3 more students like spiders than tortoises, find the number of students in the class.
(a)
Fraction of the students that like spiders and hedgehogs
=
12 +
110=
510 +
110=
610=
35Fraction of the students that liked tortoises
= 1 -
35=
55 -
35=
25(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like spiders and fraction of the students that like tortoises
=
12 -
25=
510 -
410=
110Total number of students = 10 u
Number of students that like spiders more than tortoises = 1 u
1 u = 3
Total number of students
= 10 u
= 10 x 3
= 30
Answer(s): (a)
25; (b) 30
