- What fraction of the students like hamsters?
- Given that 8 more students like tortoises than hamsters, find the number of students in the class.
(a)
Fraction of the students that like tortoises and spiders
=
12 +
16=
36 +
16=
46=
23Fraction of the students that liked hamsters
= 1 -
23=
33 -
23=
13(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like tortoises and fraction of the students that like hamsters
=
12 -
13=
36 -
26=
16Total number of students = 6 u
Number of students that like tortoises more than hamsters = 1 u
1 u = 8
Total number of students
= 6 u
= 6 x 8
= 48
Answer(s): (a)
13; (b) 48
