Answer 1

Answer:

The fraction of the staff is female is $\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an aquarium has exhibits that feature different marine animals.

Also given that $\frac{5}{8}$ of the staff are male.

$\frac{5}{12}$ of the staff works part time at the aquarium

To find the fraction of the staff is female:

 Let the entire staff is represented by the fraction $\frac{8}{8}$.

The fraction of the staff is female is given by

$\frac{8}{8}-\frac{5}{8}$

$=\frac{8-5}{8}$

$=\frac{3}{8}$

∴ The fraction of the staff is female is $\frac{3}{8}$
