Question

There are eight swans swimming on a pond and four of those swans are
black. What fraction of the swans are black?

Answer 1

Answer: A. (4/8)

Step-by-step explanation: If there is 4 black swans and 8 swans in total you could see it's 4 black swan out of 8 total swans. You could do

8/8 - 4/8 = 4/8 to find out the answer too.

Answer 2

Total number of swans= 8
Total no.of black swans= 4
Fraction of black swans among all swans= 4/8
If you simplify 4/8 you will get 1/2, in exam you have to always write the simplified version to get full marks
