Question

Suppose 42 people took the final exam in a math class. If 14 people got an A on the final exam, what fraction of the students did not get an A on the exam? Write your answer in lowest terms.

Answer 1

14/42÷2= 7/21
7/21÷7= 1/3

Answer 2

42 people total - 14 people with A's = 28 students did not get an A.
28/42 people without A's = 2/3 in lowest terms.
So 2/3 of the students did not get an A on the final exam.
