Question

Clint has 5 close friends. Three of his close friends have first names that start with R. Which statement is true regarding the names of Clint’s close friends?

A, The fraction of his close friends whose names start with R is greater than the fraction whose names do not start with R.
B, The fraction of his close friends whose names start with R is less than the fraction whose names do not start with R.
C, The fraction of his close friends whose names start with R is equal to the fraction whose names do not start with R.
D, The fraction of his close friends whose names start with R is closer to 0 than the fraction whose names do not start with R.

Answer 1

A is correct because it’s 3/5 people so more than the rest with 2 people

Answer 2

Answer: A

Based on the information given, Clint has 5 close friends, and 3 of them have names that start with R. So, the fraction of his close friends whose names start with R is 3/5, and the fraction whose names do not start with R is 2/5.

A, The fraction of his close friends whose names start with R is greater than the fraction whose names do not start with R. This statement is true because 3/5 (those with names starting with R) is greater than 2/5 (those without names starting with R).

So, the correct answer is A.
