Question

In a class of 60 students, 5 recieved a grade of A. What fraction of the class did not recieve a grade of A. Reduce in lowest terms

Answer 1

60 minus 5 = 55
55/60 simplified = divide both by 5 = 11/12

Answer 2

Ok so if 5 people got an a that means 55 did not receive an a so do 55 over 60 ok they both have a 5 in common 5 goes into 55 11 times and5 goes into 60 12 times so your answer is 11/12
