Question

There are 36 people in a gym class. What fraction represents the number

of people that are running? *1/4 of the people are jumping *1/2 of the
people are lifting weights *the remaining are running

Answer 1

9 people

Explanation:

First, we need to find out what fraction of the class is running. If 1/4 of the class is jumping, and 1/2 of the class are lifting weights, and the remaining people are running, this can be written like this. 4/4 - 1/4 - 2/4 = 1/4

1/4 of the class is running. Now we need to find out how many students is 1/4 of the class. To find this, we need to divide 36 by 4, which is 9. This means 9 people are running in gym.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

Jumping = 36/4 = 9

Lifting weights = 36/2 = 18

Running = 36-(9+18) = 9
