of the students in ms Martinez class 11/24 walk to school. another 3/8 of the students ride their bikes to school. what fraction more of students walk than ride their bikes to school.
11/24 - 3/8 = 11/24 - 9/24 = 2/24 = 1/12
To find the fraction more of students who walk than ride their bikes to school, we need to compare the fraction of students who walk to the fraction of students who ride bikes.
Fraction of students who walk = 11/24
Fraction of students who ride bikes = 3/8
To compare these fractions, we need to find the least common denominator (LCD). The LCD of 24 and 8 is 24.
Multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction 11/24 by 8 to get the same denominator of 24:
(11/24) * (8/8) = 88/192
Multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction 3/8 by 3 to get the same denominator of 24:
(3/8) * (3/3) = 9/24
Now, we can compare the fractions:
Fraction more of students who walk = 88/192 - 9/24
To simplify this expression, we need to find the least common denominator (LCD) of 192 and 24, which is 192.
(88/192) - (9/24) = (88/192) - (32/192)
Now, we can subtract the numerators:
(88 - 32) / 192 = 56/192
The fraction more of students who walk than ride their bikes to school is 56/192.
To determine the fraction more of students who walk than ride their bikes to school, we need to find the difference in the fractions of students who walk and who ride bikes.
Let's start by finding the fraction of students who walk to school. We are told that 11/24 of the students walk.
Next, let's find the fraction of students who ride bikes to school. We are told that 3/8 of the students ride their bikes.
To find the fraction more of students who walk than ride, we need to subtract the fraction of students who ride bikes from the fraction of students who walk.
So, the calculation would be:
Fraction more = Fraction who walk - Fraction who ride
Fraction more = 11/24 - 3/8
To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 24 and 8 is 24.
Converting the fractions to have a common denominator of 24:
11/24 - 3/8 = (11/24) * (1/1) - (3/8) * (3/3)
Fraction more = 11/24 - 9/24
Finally, subtracting the numerators:
Fraction more = (11 - 9)/24
Fraction more = 2/24
Simplifying the fraction:
Fraction more = 1/12
Therefore, the fraction more of students who walk than ride their bikes to school is 1/12.
