Well you would simply add all the ones who said they did play against all the ones who didn't play.

FeatheredFerret:

33/50 ?

Zowie:

What are your answer choices?

FeatheredFerret:

4/25 17/50 33/50 29/50

Zowie:

Well, we know how many students he surveyed. 100. So we know our denominator. We also know that 34 students play computer games. 34. SO we also know our numerator. So the fraction would be 34/100 But wait. What do you do with fractions?
