Question

Smriti has a collection of $20$ movies, out of which $5$ are cartoon movies and rest are comedy. What fraction is of comedy movies ?

Answer 1

Finding the fraction of comedy movies.

Given, total movies $=$$20$

Number of cartoon movies $=$$5$

So,

Number of comedy movies $=$ $20-5=15$

According to the question,

Fraction of comedy movies $=\frac{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{comedy}\mathrm{movies}}{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{movies}}$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{15}{20} \\ =\frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the fraction of comedy movies is $\frac{3}{4}$.
