Question 985048: There are 36 learners in the grade 7 class. On every cold day, there were 16 learners absent. What fraction of the class was present? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Total = 36
16 learners absent
So, 36 - 16 = 20
20 learners present.
20/36 or 10/18 or 5/9 (By cancelling down)
This is the fraction present.
Hope this helps:-)
