Question

In a class A of 25 students, 20 passed with 60% or more marks; in another class B of 30 students, 24 passed with 60% or more marks. In which class was a greater fraction of students getting with 60% or more marks?

Answer 1

The total students in class $A$ = $25$
The students who passed with $60\%$ or more = $20$.
The fraction of students who passed with $60\%$ or more = $\frac{20}{25} = \frac{4}{5}$

The total students in class $B$ = $30$
The students passed with $60\%$ or more = $24$
The fraction of students who passed with $60\%$ or more = $\frac{24}{30} = \frac{4}{5}$

By evaluating both fractions, we find $\frac{4}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$.

The identical fractions, $\frac{4}{5}$ in both cases, solidify the fact that both classes share the same proportion of high scorers.
