Question

48 students are going to the zoo. one-fourth brought umbrellas. how many people did not bring umbrellas

Answer 1

1/4=12
48-12=36
Answer is 36.

Answer 2

So here you would take 1/4 of 48.
That would be 12 because 48/4 = 12,
Now, if you read the question, you realize that 12 is the number of people who brought an umbrella.
Soo you subtract 48 - 12, which equals 36.
36 people didnt bring umbrellas.
