20 learners, 1/4 palys soccer and 1/5 plays netball, the rest plays rugby. What fraction plays rugby?
1/4 + 1/5 =
20/20 - (5/20 + 4/20) = ?
To find the fraction of learners who play rugby, we first need to determine how many learners play soccer and netball.
Given that 1/4 of the learners play soccer, we can calculate this fraction by multiplying the total number of learners by 1/4:
20 learners * 1/4 = 20/4 = 5 learners play soccer.
Similarly, if 1/5 of the learners play netball, we can calculate this fraction by multiplying the total number of learners by 1/5:
20 learners * 1/5 = 20/5 = 4 learners play netball.
Now, let's determine the fraction of learners who play rugby. Since the rest of the learners after accounting for soccer and netball play rugby, we need to subtract the number of soccer and netball players from the total number of learners:
20 learners - 5 soccer players - 4 netball players = 20 - 5 - 4 = 11 learners play rugby.
Therefore, the fraction of learners who play rugby is 11 out of 20, or simply 11/20.
