Question

There are 24 people in a gym class. What fraction represents the number

of people doing yoga? *1/2 of the people are jogging *1/3 of the people are
lifting weights *the remaining are doing yoga

Answer 1

1/6 of the people are doing yoga

Explanation:

1/2 of 24 + 1/3 of 24 + 1/6 of 24

1/2 of 24 = 12

1/3 of 24 = 8

24 - (1/2 + 1/3) = 4 or 24 - (12 + 8) = 4

4 = 1/6 of 24

1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 24

(1/2)*24=12

(1/3)*24=8

(1/6)*24=4

((1/2)*24) + ((1/3)*24) + ((1/6)*24)

Answer 2

1/6

Explanation:

It is the least common denominator. 1/2 x 3 = 3/6. 1/3 x 2 = 2/6 3+2 = 5.

5/6 Has one numerator left before it becomes whole. So yoga people are represented by 1/6.
