Mr. David class 5 \ 8 of the children walk to school 2 \ 8 take a bus and the rest cycle to school. what fraction of the class walk and take a bus to school? what fraction cycle to school
5/8 + 2/8 = ______?
Subtract the above sum from 8/8.
5/8+2/8=7/8
5/8 OF THE CLASS WALKS
2/8 OF THE CLASS TAKES BUS
8/8-7/8 CYCLES
SO THAT MEANS THAT THE TOTAL CYCLES TO SCHOOL.
SO VERY GOOD :)
a. 5/8 of class walks.
b. 2/8 of class takes bus.
c. 5/8 + 2/8 = 7/8.
8/8 - 7/8 cycles.
Can you show me the working
To find the fraction of the class that walks and takes a bus to school, we need to add the fractions of the class that walk and take a bus separately.
Given that 5/8 of the children walk to school and 2/8 take a bus, we can add these fractions to get:
5/8 + 2/8 = 7/8
Therefore, 7/8 of the class walks and takes a bus to school.
To find the fraction of the class that cycles to school, we need to subtract the fraction of the class that walks and takes a bus from 1 (since everyone falls into one of these categories).
Given that 7/8 of the class walks and takes a bus, we can subtract this fraction from 1:
1 - 7/8 = 8/8 - 7/8 = 1/8
Therefore, 1/8 of the class cycles to school.
