Question

What fraction of the 300 fish does Nita catch?

Answer 1

To determine the fraction of the 300 fish that Nita caught, first, we determine the number of fish that Chris caught. The 45% of 300 is:

`300*(45)/(100)=135.`

Now, in total Chris, Nita and Craig caught 300 fish, therefore:

`135+x+25=300.`

x represents the number of fish caught by Nita.

Solving the above equation for x, we get:

`x=300-25-135=140.`

Therefore, Nina caught

`140`

out of the 300 fish, which is represented by the fraction:

`(140)/(300).`

Finally, simplifying the above fraction, we get:

`(7)/(15).`

Answer:

`(7)/(15).`
