Jordan got 27 out of 90 correct in his test. What fraction of the marks did he get wrong? Give your answer in its simplest form.

Respuesta :

90-27=63

therefore the student got 63 questions wrong in a test of 90

i.e 63/90

In its simplest form 7/10

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that Jordan got 27 out of 90 correct in his test.

Total marks = 90

Correct answers = 27

Incorrect answers = 90 -27 = 63

The fraction of the marks he did wrong.

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Incorrect answers}}{\text{Total marks}}=\dfrac{63}{90}[/tex]

Simplify the above expression.

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Incorrect answers}}{\text{Total marks}}=\dfrac{7}{10}[/tex]

Therefore, the fraction of the marks he did wrong is 7/10.
