Question

class 4 went for a picnic 2/5 of the students went for a boat ride. 1/5 of the students went for trekking. how much larger was the fraction of students who went for the boat ride?

Answer 1

The require answer is $\frac{1}{5}$.

fraction : Definition 1: A fraction represents a numerical value that defines parts of a whole.

Definition 2: A fraction is a number that represents a part of a whole.

In general, a fraction can be a part of any quantity of a whole, and a whole can be any particular thing or value.

Fraction Basics explains the top and bottom numbers of a fraction. The top number represents the number of selected or shaded parts of the whole, while the bottom number represents the total number of parts.

Suppose a number has to be divided into four parts, then it is represented as x/4. So the fraction here x/4 defines 1/4 of the number x. So 1/4 is a fraction here. It means one of four equal parts. It can be read as one quarter or 1/4. This is known as a fraction.

Let the total no. of students =x

No. of students who went for a boat ride =$\frac{2x}{5}$

No. of students who went for trekking = $\frac{x}{5}$

Therefore the require condition

$\frac{2x}{5} -\frac{x}{5}$

=$\frac{x}{5}$

Therefore $\frac{1}{5}$ times large was the fraction of students who went for the boat ride.

Hence the require answer is $\frac{1}{5}$.
