(a)
Fraction of the students that like lizards and spiders
=
310 +

310 +
510=
810=
45Fraction of the students that liked guinea pigs
= 1 -
45=
55 -
45=
15(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like lizards and fraction of the students that like guinea pigs
=
310 -
15=
310 -
210=
110Total number of students = 10 u
Number of students that like lizards more than guinea pigs = 1 u
1 u = 8
Total number of students
= 10 u
= 10 x 8
= 80
Answer(s): (a)
