Question

There are 9 cars in the parking lot. 2 cars are parked on the left and the other cars are

parked on the right. What fraction of the cars are parked on the right?

Answer 1

To calculate the fraction of cars parked on the right in a parking lot with 9 total cars and 2 parked on the left, we subtract 2 from 9 to get 7 and then express this as a fraction ÷9, meaning 7 out of 9 cars are parked on the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked, "What fraction of the cars are parked on the right?" given that there are 9 cars total and 2 cars parked on the left. To find the fraction of cars parked on the right, we need to subtract the number of cars on the left from the total number of cars, and then write the resulting number over the total number of cars as a fraction.

There are 9 cars in total and 2 cars are parked on the left. We subtract 2 from 9 to find the number of cars on the right:

9 - 2 = 7 cars are parked on the right.

Now we express this as a fraction of the total number of cars:

\(\frac{7 \text{ cars on the right}}{9 \text{ total cars}}\) is the fraction that represents the number of cars parked on the right.

Answer 2

7/9

Step-by-step explanation:
There are 7 cars out of the total of 9 on the right
