Answer: 3/8 of the class went to the evening session.
Explanation:
So it says on Sunday 3/4 of an 8th grade class went to see the movie.But we do not know the real population of the 8th grade class. But is says that out of the 3/4 of the students that went to the movie have of them went in the afternoon so we will multiply 1/2 by 3/4 to find out how many people went to the afternoon session.
3/4 * 1/2 = 3/8 So we know that 3/8 of the 3/4 of the class went in the afternoon so we will now subtract 3/8 from 3/4 to find out what fraction went in the evening.
[tex]\frac{3}{4} - \frac{3}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
To think about it if half of the 3/4 of the class went in the afternoon then another have will go in the evening.
