Question

In Ms. March’s class, 7/10 of the students walk to school. Another 1/5 of the students ride their bikes. The other students ride on the school bus. What fraction of the class rides on the school bus?

A. 1/10
B. 1/5
C. 2/5
D. 1/2

Answer 1

1/10

Explanation:

1) to find the students who take the bus we need to find the ones who don't

1/5=2/10

7/10+2/10=9/10

9 out of 10 kids dont take the bus, so the ones that do are:

10/10-9/10=1/10

1/10 of the students take the bus

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

A. 1/10

Explanation:

You have 2/10 and 7/10, adding those together you get 9/10 of the student population leaving 1/10 of the students left.
