Question

There are 48 people in gym class. What fraction represents the number of people running?

5/8 of the people were in spin class.

1/3 of the people were lifting weights

The remaining people were running

A. 1/8

B. 1/24

C. 1/12

D. 23/24

Answer 1

Answer:B

Explanation:

5/8 of 48 is 30.

1/3 of 48 is 16.

So 30 people are spinning and 16 are lifting weights.

48-30-16=2

There are two people left out of 48.

2/48 reduces to 1/24.
