Question

4/5 of the students inboth classes likefrosted flakes. While1/10 prefer fruit loops.How many morestudents prefer frostedflakes?

Answer 1

Given that 4/5 of the students like frosted flakes and 1/10 prefer fruit loops, the number of students that prefer frosted flakes more than fruit loops is the difference between the two fractions

This may be expressed as

= 4/5 - 1/10

= (8 - 2)/10

= 6/10

= 3/5

Hence 3/5 more students prefer frosted flakes to fruit loops.
