What is a Fraction?

A fraction is a portion of a larger whole. The number is expressed in arithmetic as a quotient, which is the numerator divided by the denominator. Both are integers in a simple fraction. A complex fraction contains a fraction in either the numerator or the denominator. A proper fraction has a numerator that is less than the denominator.

Given :

No. of employees working in Metropolitan Transportation Company

= 800

fraction of college graduates = 1/4

fraction of high school graduates = 5/6 of the remaining.

No. of college graduates = 1/4 of 800 = 200

Remaining no. of employees who are not college graduates,

= 800 - 200 = 600

No. of high school graduates = 5/6 of 600

= [tex]5 *100[/tex]

= 500

Remaining employees who are neither college graduates nor high school graduates = 600 - 500 = 100

Hence, a fraction of employees who never graduated from high school = 100/ 800 = 1/8

Therefore, 1/8 of the employees never graduated from high school.
