The fraction of the class working on the art project is;


(1)/(8)

Here, we want to calculate the fraction of the class that worked on the art project

Mathematically, at any point in time, the total fraction is 1

So, all we have to do here is to sum up the fractions that we have and subtract from 1

We have this as;


\begin{gathered} 1-\text{ (}(1)/(4)+(5)/(8)) \\ \\ =\text{ 1- (}(2+5)/(8)) \\ =1\text{ - }(7)/(8) \\ =\text{ }(1)/(8) \end{gathered}
