Several students were surveyed about their favorite class. 26 students chose art 19 English 21 math 16 music 32 science. What fraction of the of the students chose music as their favorite subject.
8/57
16/(26+19+21+26+32)
To find the fraction of students who chose music as their favorite subject, we need to divide the number of students who chose music by the total number of students surveyed.
The total number of students surveyed is:
26 (Art) + 19 (English) + 21 (Math) + 16 (Music) + 32 (Science) = 114
So, the fraction of students who chose music as their favorite subject is:
16 (Students who chose music) / 114 (Total number of students surveyed)
Therefore, the fraction is 16/114, which can be simplified to 8/57.
To find the fraction of students who chose music as their favorite subject, you need to calculate the ratio of the number of students who chose music to the total number of students surveyed.
First, add up the number of students who chose music: 16 students chose music.
Next, add up the total number of students surveyed: 26 students chose art + 19 students chose English + 21 students chose math + 16 students chose music + 32 students chose science = 114 students in total.
To find the fraction, divide the number of students who chose music by the total number of students surveyed: 16 students / 114 students = 8/57.
Therefore, the fraction of students who chose music as their favorite subject is 8/57.
