If 94/120 students received an A (must have been at Harvard), then 120-94 students did not receive an A.
120-94=26
26/120 students did not receive an A
What number can go into both 26 and 120?
Let's look at factors of 26
26,1
13,2
26 and 13 do not go into 120, so we'll reduce it by 2
26%2F120 = 13%2F60
