Question

At an auditorium, 3 1/2 sections are filled with people watching a play. Exactly 3/5 of the people watching the play are parents. What fraction of the sections are filled with parents?

Answer 1

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 2¹/₁₀ section

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of sections filled = 3¹/₂ = 7 / 2 sections

Number of fraction parents watching play = 3/5

Find:

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents]

Computation:

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = Total number of sections filled x Number of fraction parents watching play

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = [7/2] x [3/5]

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 21 / 10 sections

Fraction[Total number of sections filled filled with parents] = 2¹/₁₀ section
