In class A of 25 students, 20 passed with 60% or more marks; in another class B of 30 students, 24 passed with 60% or more marks. In which class was a greater fraction of students getting with 60% or more marks?

Solution:

We use the concepts of fractions, reduce fractions and comparing fractions to determine which class had a greater fraction of students getting a first-class.

The total number of students in class A = 25
The number of students who passed with 60% or more = 20.
The fraction of students who passed with 60% or more = 20/25 = 4/5

The total number of students in class B = 30
The number of students passed with 60% or more = 24
The fraction of students who passed with 60% or more = 24/30 = 4/5

On comparing both the fractions, we get 4/5 = 4/5.
Hence, both class A and B have the same fraction of students getting 60% or more.
