In Mr.Johanessen's class, 1/4 of the students failed the exam. Of the remaining class, 1/3 scored an A. What fraction of the whole class passed the test but scored below an A? (The answer is NOT 1/2)

We can take the class as a whole, and the whole class would be one.

As 1/4 failed and 1/3 passed with A, deduction can be carried out to find the rest of the class:

1-1/4-1/3

By finding the common denominator,we can get

=12/12-3/12-4/12
=5/12

Thus the fraction of the whole class passed the test but scored below an A is 5/12.

Hope it helps!
