Question

Of 100 cars making up a freight​ train, 37

are boxcars. What fraction of the cars are not​ boxcars?

Answer 1

To find the number of cars that are not boxcars, let's subtract 37 from 100.


`100-37=63`

Thus, there are 63 cars that are not boxcars.

Now, we divide 63 by the total number of cars to get our fraction.


`(63)/(100)`

This fraction is already in simplified form.

That's your answer. Have an awesome day! :)
