Sagot :

1/2 of 8 is 4 so there would be 4/8 motorcycles + 1/8 cars would be 5/8 and the remainder is 3/8 so 3/8 is not cars or motorcycles

The fraction of the vehicles that are not cars or motorcycles is 3/8.

What fraction of the vehicles are not cars or motorcycles?

Let's say that there are N vehicles on the road. 1/2 of these are cars and 1/8 are motorcycles.

So the number of vehicles that are not cars or motorcycles is given by:

N' = N - N/2 - N/8

Now we can take N as a common factor:

N' = N*(1 - 1/2 - 1/8) = N*(1 - 4/8 - 1/8) = N*(3/8)

Now we divide both sides by N to get:

N'/N = 3/8

So the fraction of the vehicles that are not cars or motorcycles is 3/8.
