In the students,
512 of the students like guinea pigs,
14 of the students like tortoises and the rest like spiders
- What fraction of the students like spiders?
- Given that 12 more students like guinea pigs than spiders, find the number of students in the class.
(a)
Fraction of the students that like guinea pigs and tortoises
=
512 +
14=
512 +
312=
812=
23Fraction of the students that liked spiders
= 1 -
23=
33 -
23=
13(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like guinea pigs and fraction of the students that like spiders
=
512 -
13=
512 -
412=
112Total number of students = 12 u
Number of students that like guinea pigs more than spiders = 1 u
1 u = 12
Total number of students
= 12 u
= 12 x 12
= 144
Answer(s): (a)
13; (b) 144
