Question

There are 1 over 7 of the students in school that are allergic to corn. There are 1 fourth of the students are allergic to peanuts. in school. Are students allergic to which more-corn or peanuts.

  1. Corn
  2. Peanuts
  3. Equally allergic
  4. Can't be determined

The correct answer is: Peanuts


    Students allergic to corm in school =1 over 7
    Students allergic to peanuts in school =1 fourth
    To find students are allergic more to com or peanuts, we nave to first make denominator equal.
    Multiples of 7=7,14,21,28,35,42,49…
    Multiples of 4=4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32…
    Common denominator =28.
    Allergic to com                              Allergic to peanuts
    1 over 7                                                   1 fourth
    fraction numerator 1 space cross times 4 over denominator 7 cross times 4 end fraction space equals 4 over 28                                 fraction numerator 1 space cross times 7 over denominator 4 cross times 7 end fraction space equals 7 over 28

    Now, since denominators are same, just compare the numerators
    Therefore 4 over 28 less than 7 over 28
    i.e. 1 over 7 less than 1 fourth
    ∴ students are more allergic to peancils
