Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

No. of seats in the theatre= 500

Tickets are given away as prizes=

$\frac{1}{8}$

= $\frac{1}{8}$ of 500

= $\frac{1×500}{8}$

= $\frac{125}{2}$ or 62.5

Tickets sold at a discounted rate in schools=

$\frac{3}{16}$

= $\frac{3}{16}$ of 500

= $\frac{3× 500}{16}$

= $\frac{375}{4}$ or 93.75

Total seats sold= 62.5 + 93.75

= 156.25

Seats left= 500- 156.25

= 343.75

Fraction= $\frac{55}{16}$
