Question

mr. Winston's class Works in 3 groups 1/4 of the class read 5/8 of the students works with mr. Winston the remainder of class works on an art project what part of the class who worked on the art project

Answer 1

The fraction of the class working on the art project is;

$\frac{1}{8}$

Here, we want to calculate the fraction of the class that worked on the art project

Mathematically, at any point in time, the total fraction is 1

So, all we have to do here is to sum up the fractions that we have and subtract from 1

We have this as;

$\begin{gathered} 1-\text{ (}\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{8}) \\ \\ =\text{ 1- (}\frac{2+5}{8}) \\ =1\text{ - }\frac{7}{8} \\ =\text{ }\frac{1}{8} \end{gathered}$
