In the students,
12 of the students like tortoises,
110 of the students like guinea pigs and the rest like hedgehogs
- What fraction of the students like hedgehogs?
- Given that 5 more students like tortoises than hedgehogs, find the number of students in the class.
(a)
Fraction of the students that like tortoises and guinea pigs
=
12 +
110=
510 +
110=
610=
35Fraction of the students that liked hedgehogs
= 1 -
35=
55 -
35=
25(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like tortoises and fraction of the students that like hedgehogs
=
12 -
25=
510 -
410=
110Total number of students = 10 u
Number of students that like tortoises more than hedgehogs = 1 u
1 u = 5
Total number of students
= 10 u
= 10 x 5
= 50
Answer(s): (a)
25; (b) 50
