A class of 30 voted on their favorite sport. 1/3 said soccer, 2/3 said basketb. the rest said their favorite is football. what fraction of students favorite sport is football!!! please help
1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 = 1
According to your problem no one favored football.
To find the fraction of students who chose football as their favorite sport, we first need to determine the number of students who chose soccer and basketball as their favorite sports.
According to the information given, 1/3 of the class chose soccer as their favorite sport, and 2/3 chose basketball.
Since there are 30 students in the class, we can calculate the number of students who chose soccer by multiplying the total number of students by the fraction who chose soccer:
30 students * (1/3) = 10 students chose soccer
Similarly, we can calculate the number of students who chose basketball:
30 students * (2/3) = 20 students chose basketball
Now, to find the number of students who chose football, we subtract the number of students who chose soccer and basketball from the total number of students:
30 students - 10 students (soccer) - 20 students (basketball) = 0 students chose football
Therefore, the fraction of students who chose football as their favorite sport is 0/30, which means none of the students chose football as their favorite sport.
