Question

company A operates stores under multiple banners in 38 states in the u.s. how many states do not have a store operator by company A? what fraction of states do not have a store operator by company A​

Answer 1

There are 50 states in the U.S. so to find the states that don't have a store operator by company A you must subtract the states that do by the total number of states:

50 - 38 = 12

12 stores do not have a store operator by company A

To find the fraction you must do $\frac{part}{whole}$

Part is the number of states that don't have a store operator by company A

Whole is the total number of states in the U.S.

You get the fraction:

$\frac{12}{50}$

^^^This fraction can be simplified to...

$\frac{6}{25}$

Hope this helped!
