Question

in a classroom, 2/12 of the students play baseball, 4/12 Play football, 1/12 are in the chorus and the rest participate in volunteer programs. what fraction of the students participate in volunteer programs?

Answer 1

It will be 5/12 because, if you add 2+4+1=7/12 and that is not a hole number so you add as many that will make it a hole number so I just added 5 to get 12/12 a hole number.

Answer 2

2/12+4/12+1/12= 7/12, 12-7 = 5, so 5/12 participate in the volunteer programs.
