[tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex] of students only saw jewelry collection
Solution:
Given that, On a class trip to the museum,5/8 of the students saw the dinosaurs
7/8 of the students saw either the jewelry collection or the dinosaurs
To find: Fraction of students only saw jewelry collection
From given statement,
Fraction of students saw dinosaur = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Fraction of students saw either the jewelry collection or the dinosaurs = [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
Therefore,
Fraction of students only saw jewelry collection = Fraction of students saw either the jewelry collection or the dinosaurs - Fraction of students saw dinosaur
[tex]\rightarrow \frac{7}{8} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{7-5}{8} = \frac{2}{8}[/tex]
Thus [tex]\frac{2}{8}[/tex] of students only saw jewelry collection
