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.
(100)16/(26+19+21+16+32) = ?
To find the fraction of students who chose music as their favorite subject, we need to compare the number of students who chose music to the total number of students surveyed.
The total number of students surveyed would be the sum of the number of students who chose each subject:
26 (art) + 19 (English) + 21 (math) + 16 (music) + 32 (science) = 114
Therefore, the total number of students surveyed is 114.
Now, to find the fraction of students who chose music, we need to divide the number of students who chose music (16) by the total number of students surveyed (114):
16/114
This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which in this case is 2:
16 ÷ 2 / 114 ÷ 2 = 8/57
Therefore, the fraction of students who chose music as their favorite subject is 8/57.
