Question

A model railroad kit contains curved and straight tracks. Given that 35% of the tracks are curved, what fraction of the tracks are straight? Write the fraction in the simplest form.

Answer 1

Given that 35% of the tracks are curved, this means that 100% - 35% = 65% of the tracks are straight.

Therefore, the fraction of the tracks that are straight is given by

$\frac{65}{100} = \frac{13}{20}$
