Answer:

one quarter of the total number of students will be those who failed their exam.

Explanation:

Three - fourths = those who passed the exam

one quarter will be those who failed their exam

From the total number of the students.

Let's make an example

40 students who take the exam.

3 over 4 students from the total number of 40 take the exam and the result is passed and it mean 30 students passed in the exam.

1 over 4 students take the exam and the result is failed and it mean 10 students failed in the exam.

4 minus 3 over 4 will get the answer 1 over 4.

Use 1 over 4 to multiple with the total number of the students and that how you will get the answer for those who failed in their exam.
