I can't quite solve this question.
Of 98 bicycles in a bike rack, 67 are mountain bikes. What fraction of the bicycles are not mountain bikes?
98 - 67 = 31
31/98 are not mountain bikes.
98-67=31 so, 31/91 are mountian bikes
in english that means this:
you have 97 bikes
67 are mountain bikes,yes?
you want to figure out how many are not mountain bikes, right?
you simply subtract 67(# of moutain bikes) from 98(total # of bikes)...
that will tellyou how many bikes are left
the number of bikes left are mountain bikes
The 'are' at the beginning and end of that were supposed to be aren't.
To find the fraction of bicycles that are not mountain bikes, we need to subtract the number of mountain bikes from the total number of bicycles and then express it as a fraction.
First, let's calculate the number of bicycles that are not mountain bikes:
Total number of bicycles - Number of mountain bikes = 98 - 67 = 31
Now, let's express this as a fraction:
Fraction of bicycles that are not mountain bikes = Number of bicycles that are not mountain bikes / Total number of bicycles
Fraction of bicycles that are not mountain bikes = 31 / 98
The fraction of bicycles that are not mountain bikes is 31/98.
