My little cousin needs help with home work!?

Question

She has 35 problems,and they are not completed and she is completely stuck..

She's 9 years old and here is the problem:

What fraction of the students chose either math or reading as their favorite subject?

Reading-3/8

Math-1/4

History-1/8

Science-1/4

Answer 1

reading is 3/8 math is 1/4=2/8 so 2/8+3/8=5/8

Answer 2

just divide the bottum no. by the top no. and you'll find which one is more.

Answer 3

Teach her the addition way - add the top two #s together (3+1=4) and the bottom two numbers (8+4=12) and that would be a fraction of 4/12.  You can then reduce it - how many 4s go into 12?  Your answer will be 1/that # (you have to do some of the work..)

Answer 4

The answer is 5/8.

Answer 5

The common denominator would be 8,   because 8,8,4,and4 all go into 8.

So

Reading is 3/8 so it  would be the same

Math would be 1/4- 4x2=8, so 1x2=2...making that 2/8

History would stay 1/8

and Science would be 2/8 (work is the same as Math)

ok,

3/8

2/8

1/8

2/8

reading=3/8, and math =2/8     3+2...= 5....

so 5/8 students is ur answer

Answer 6

I THINK ITS FIVE OVER EIGHT PLEASE DON'T BE MAD IF I'M WRONG1

Answer 7

5/8  theres 8 students 3 chose reading 2 chose math

Answer 8

1/4=2/8

so it's reading-3/8

math-2/8

history 1/8

science-2/8

so if i got right you want to know reading+math; that's 3/8+2/8=5/8

Answer 9

5/8    

3/8 choose reading and 2/8(1/4 with commond denominator) choose math.

Add 3/8 and 2/8 to get 5/8

Answer 10

okay what you haev to do is devide the numerator(one on top) by the denomitor(one on bottom) then you will get a percent . use the percents to figure out your answer

good luck!

Answer 11

the answer is 5/8

first you have to make the denominators the same..in this case 8.  you multiply the 1 and the 4 by 2 and get 2/8.  then you add 2/8+3/8=5/8

Answer 12

whats your question? we dont know how many students? we dont know how many chose what?

Answer 13

Math and Reading together are 5/8 if I understand your question.
