In the students,
12 of the students like hedgehogs,
16 of the students like hamsters and the rest like pigs
- What fraction of the students like pigs?
- Given that 12 more students like hedgehogs than pigs, find the number of students in the class.
(a)
Fraction of the students that like hedgehogs and hamsters
=
12 +
16=
36 +
16=
46=
23Fraction of the students that liked pigs
= 1 -
23=
33 -
23=
13(b)
Difference between the fraction of the students that like hedgehogs and fraction of the students that like pigs
=
12 -
13=
36 -
26=
16Total number of students = 6 u
Number of students that like hedgehogs more than pigs = 1 u
1 u = 12
Total number of students
= 6 u
= 6 x 12
= 72
Answer(s): (a)
13; (b) 72
