Question

5/8 of the staff are male 5/12 of the staff works part time at the aquarium what is the fraction of the staff being female

Answer 1

I believe the answer is 3/8. The whole portion of employees, which is translated as 8/8 is deducted by 5/8, which is the population of male employees.

Answer 2

Fraction of female working as part time is 5/32

Given that;

Ratio of male staff = $\frac{5}{8}$

Ratio of part time staff = $\frac{5}{12}$

Find:

Fraction of female working as part time

Computation:

$Total\ number\ of\ female\ staff = 1 - \frac{5}{8} \\\\Total\ number\ of\ female\ staff = \frac{3}{8}$

$Number\ of\ female\ staff\ doing\ part\ time\ work = [\frac{3}{8} ][\frac{5}{12} ] \\\\Number\ of\ female\ staff\ doing\ part\ time\ work =\frac{5}{32}$
