Question

Half the children in our school watch television every night. Three fourths of those children watch for more than an hour. What fraction of the total children watch for more than an hour a night?

Answer 1

`3/8`

Explanation:

All children `= 1`

Half of those watch TV `= 1/2 xx 1 = 1/2`

And three quarters of those watch TV for more than 1 hour `= 3/4 xx 1/2 = 3/8`
