You missed 12 questions on a 60-question test. What fraction names the part you got correct? (Reduce)

Question

On this would I divide 12 into 60 so I could make the fraction this one I just need a little help.

Answer 1

Well. If you missed 12 questions you got (60 - 12) correct. I.e. 48 questions were correct.

So, the fraction of questions answered corectly is:

(Number of Correct Questions)/(Total Number of Questions)

so that is:

48/60 which can be simplified as 12 divides evenly into both the numerator and the denominator so you get

4/5.

Ok, hope that helps!
