In a third grade class 2/5 of the students wear glasses. What fraction of the students do not wear glasses?

If 16 students wear glasses, how many students are in the class altogether?

2 answers

5/5 - 2/5 = ? students do not wear glasses

2/5 = 16/x

Cross multiply and divide

2x = 80
x = 40 students in the class
5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5
