Question

If 2/5 of the judges were wearing their powdered wigs, what fraction of the judges were not wearing their powdered wigs?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(3)/(5)` of the judges were not wearing their powdered wigs.

Explanation:

`(2)/(5)` out of the whole
`(5)/(5)` were wearing a wig. So subtract
`(2)/(5)` from
`(5)/(5)` to see the fraction that wasn't wearing a wig.

`(5)/(5) -(2)/(5) =(3)/(5)`
