The fraction of the entire class paired for the game is: 24/31

Fraction of the entire class paired for the game

From the task content:

  • It follows that; (3/4)x = 4/5y

  • And x + y = 1.

Hence, it follows that;

  • y = (15/16)x

By substitution;

  • x + (15/16)x = 1

  • (31/16)x = 1

  • x = 16/31 and y = 15/31

Hence;

  • (3/4)×16/31 = 12/31
  • (4/5) × 15/31 = 12/31

Hence, the fraction of the entire that was paired is; 12/31 + 12/31 = 24/31.
