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

310 +
510=
810=
45Fraction of the students that liked hamsters
= 1 -
45=
55 -
45=
15(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like spiders and fraction of the students that like hamsters
=
310 -
15=
310 -
210=
110Total number of students = 10 u
Number of students that like spiders more than hamsters = 1 u
1 u = 6
Total number of students
= 10 u
= 10 x 6
= 60
Answer(s): (a)
15; (b) 60
