Question
Out of 50 identical articles, 36 are broken. Find the fraction of:
(i) The total number of articles and the articles broken.
(ii) The remaining articles and the total number of articles.
Solution
Total number of articles = 50
Number of articles broken = 36
Remaining articles = 50 – 36 = 14
Now,
(i) The fraction of the total number of articles and articles broken = `50/36`
= `(50÷2)/(36÷2)=25/18`
(ii) The fraction between the remaining articles and total numbers of articles
= `14/50=(14÷2)/(50÷2)=7/25`
