Question

The cafeteria staff at Bryan County Middle School served 125 sixth graders on the first day of school. Out of the 125 students, 102 of them chose to drink chocolate milk. What decimal represents the fraction of students who did NOT choose to drink chocolate milk?

Answer 1

`Fraction = (23)/(125)`

Explanation:

Given

`Total = 125`

`Chocolate = 102`

Required

Determine fraction who do not drink chocolate

First, we need to determine the number of those who do not drink chocolate

`No\ Chocolate = 125 - 102`

`No\ Chocolate = 23`

Their fraction is calculated as thus

`Fraction = (No\ Chocolate)/(Total)`

`Fraction = (23)/(125)`
