In mr. johanessen's class, 1/4 of the students failed the exam. of the remaining class, 1/3 scored an a. what fraction of the whole class passed the test but scored below an a? (the answer is not 1/2 and it is not 5/12)

so a whole is same/same, in this context is 4/4 = 1, or four fourths.

now, we know 1/4 failed, that means 4/4 - 1/4 = 3/4 didn't fail, so 3/4 passed.

from that remaining 3/4, how many got an A? well 1/3, how much is 1/3 of 3/4? well is just their product,    .

so 1/4 of the remaining 3/4 got an A, that means 3/4 of the remaining 3/4 did NOT get an A.

how much is 3/4 of 3/4? well, is just their product.

answer: i don't understand it
