Question

Math help...Please..?
I need help on math and it uses a circle graph... So i will just type it down... 1/6 Is action, 2/5 is comedy, and the suspence is 1/10 and there isn't a fraction for animated.... I need help on 3 problems.. Please show every step on how to the probelm. :)
1. If 5 students chose an action movie, how many students are in the class?
2. The fifths of those who chose an animated movie would like to see Tarzan. What fraction of the students would like to see tarzen?
3. How many students do not want to see tarzan?
---- Please answer the math questions... Thank you So MUCH!

O sorry but on #2. it said The fifths of those who chose an animated movie would like to see Tarzan. What fraction of the students would like to see tarzen? Sorry but i meant three fifths instead of fifths.. Sorry!

Answer 1

1) 5=1/6(x) [the x is just the # of kids in class] so that means x=30.
2) find how much is for animated. so, (1/6)+(2/5)+(1/10)=2/3 of the class. so, 1/3 want to see animated. and, (3/5)(1/3)=3/15 of the class want to see tarzan. [3/5 of those 1/3 want to see it so u mult. them together] 3/15 simiplified is 1/5.
3)5/5(the whole class)-1/5(who wants to see tarzan)=4/5 don't want to see tarzan.

Answer 2

1. 30, if 5 students chose action and 1 out of every 6th wanted action, then 5/30 wanted it. 5/30=1/6
2. 10, use lcd for the fractions. 1/6=5/30, 2/5=12/30, 1/10=3/30
so the total of those is 20/30. so there are 10 students left to see the animated movie, Tarzan.
3. 20, the students that chose the other 3 =20

the wording you used wasnt great but i think thats the answer youre looking for. Also question 3 is not phrased properly. Just because someone chose action comedy or suspense doesnt mean they dont wanna see tarzan. It just means they would rather see something else. So the answer to question 3 is actually not known. But the question probably means, "how many students did not choose to see Tarzan?" or something to that effect.

Answer 3

Multiply the fractions so they all have a common denominator. 30 would be good. So, 1/6 becomes 5/30, 2/5 becomes 12/30, and 1/10 becomes 3/30. So, animated is 30/30-(5/30+12/30+3/30)=10/30. So, animated = 10/30 of the class.

1. 30 students. Use the 5/30 fraction. 5students/(5students/30total students)=30 total students.
2. you may have typed this one up wrong, as it makes no sense to me
3. can't tell since I don't know answer to 2.

Answer 4

1. i believe 30 because 1\6 of thirty is five

2. is there enough info

3. the rest

sorry this is a tough one without the visuals in front of you
try the text book they're full of good info!

Answer 5

U need 2 make them have the same denominator. Then hopefully u can do the rest, wht grade math is this...
