In Mr. Johanessen's class, 1/4 of the students failed the final exam. Of the remaining class, 1/3 scored an A. What fraction of the whole class passed the test but scored below an A?

(1 - 1/4) - 1/3 = 3/4 - 1/3 = 9/12 - 4/12 = ?

To find the fraction of the whole class that passed the test but scored below an A, we need to subtract the fraction of students who scored an A from the fraction of students who passed the test.

First, let's find the fraction of students who failed the final exam. We are given that 1/4 of the students failed.

So, the fraction of students who failed is 1/4.

To find the fraction of students who passed the exam, we need to subtract the fraction of students who failed from 1 (the whole class).

1 - 1/4 = 3/4

So, 3/4 of the students passed the final exam.

Next, we need to find the fraction of students who scored an A. We are given that 1/3 of the remaining class scored an A.

So, the fraction of students who scored an A is 1/3.

To find the fraction of the whole class that passed the test but scored below an A, we need to subtract the fraction of students who scored an A from the fraction of students who passed the test.

3/4 - 1/3 = (9/12) - (4/12) = 5/12

Therefore, 5/12 of the whole class passed the test but scored below an A.

To find the fraction of the whole class that passed the test but scored below an A, we need to subtract the fraction of students who scored an A from the fraction of the remaining students after the failures.

First, let's assume there are 100 students in total in Mr. Johanessen's class.

1/4 of the students failed the final exam, which is 1/4 x 100 = 25 students.

The remaining class consists of 100 - 25 = 75 students.

Out of the remaining class, 1/3 scored an A, which is 1/3 x 75 = 25 students.

Therefore, the fraction of the whole class that passed the test but scored below an A is (75 - 25)/100 = 50/100.

Simplifying the fraction, we get 1/2.

So, 1/2 of the whole class passed the test but scored below an A.
