Question

I’m particularl class of 33 students, 14 are men. What fraction of the students in the class are men?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the headline says "college". that cannot be.

14 out of 33 are men.

so,

14/33 of the students are men.

that's it. nothing else can be done.

let's add a little bit more spice to this and ask also what percentage of the students are men :

for % questions, always find 100% and correspondingly 1%.

everything else can be easily calcite out of this.

100% = 33

1% = 100%/100 = 33/100 = 0.33

how many % of these 33 are 14 ?

as many as times 1% fit into these 14 :

14/0.33 = 42.42424242...%

Answer 2

_____________________________

= 14 ÷ 33 × 100

= 42.4% ~ 43%

The Fraction of Male Students Is 43%
