(a)
Fraction of the students that like spiders and terrapins
=
12 +

36 +
16=
46=
23Fraction of the students that liked snakes
= 1 -
23=
33 -
23=
13(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like spiders and fraction of the students that like snakes
=
12 -
13=
36 -
26=
16Total number of students = 6 u
Number of students that like spiders more than snakes = 1 u
1 u = 9
Total number of students
= 6 u
= 6 x 9
= 54
Answer(s): (a)
13; (b) 54
