Randy surveyed 8 students to find out how many students like chocolate. He found that 6 of these students like chocolate. Write the simplified fraction for how many of the students did NOT like chocolate?
So do I do 8/8 - 6/8 = 2/8 simplify 1/4
2/8 = 1/4. you are correct my dude. (my real question is who are those kids who don't like chocolate?)
1/4 students did not
yeah. idk I guess I just have a big sweet tooth anyway, good luck with your math
Thanks potato goddes

To find the fraction of students who did NOT like chocolate, you can subtract the fraction of students who like chocolate from 1 (or 8/8).
You correctly stated that 6 out of 8 students like chocolate, so the fraction of students who like chocolate is 6/8.
To find the fraction of students who did NOT like chocolate, subtract 6/8 from 8/8:
8/8 - 6/8 = 2/8
Now, to simplify the fraction, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 2.
Dividing 2/8 by 2, we get:
2 ÷ 2 / 8 ÷ 2 = 1/4
Therefore, the simplified fraction representing the number of students who did NOT like chocolate is 1/4.
