Question

five states in a country have 4 star hotels. Assume the country has 50 states. (a) what fraction of the states can claim at least one four star hotel? (b) how many states do not have a four star hotel (c) write a fraction of states without a four star hotel

Answer 1

The fraction of states with a​ four-star hotel 9/10.

The number of states without a​ four-star hotel is 5

The fraction of states without a​ four-star hotel is 1/10

NOT 45.

Answer 2

Part A:

Since five states have four-star hotels, only those five states can claim at least one four-star hotel and since there are 50 states, we can write this as 5/50 or 1/10.

Part B:

50 - 5 = 45 states don't have a four-star hotel.

Part C:

45/50 or 9/10 of the states do not have a four-star hotel.

Best of Luck!
