  1. 1 fourth
  2. 1 half
  3. 3 over 4

The fraction of class in school = 1- total number of student missing

The correct answer is: 3 over 4


    1 over 6 of the class went to a basketball tournament 
    1 over 6 of the class called in sick
    Total number of students missing = 1 over 6 plus 1 over 6 equals 2 over 6
    The fraction of class in school = 1 minus space 2 over 6space equals space fraction numerator 6 minus 2 over denominator 6 end fraction space equals space 4 over 6 = fraction numerator 2 cross times 2 over denominator 2 cross times 3 end fraction equals space 2 over 3 answer
    or The answer can be simplified further using a common divisor 2.
    4 over 6 divided by 2 over 2 equals 2 over 3
