Answer
a. $\frac{2}{5}$
b. $54,000$
c. $\frac{3}{5}$
Work Step by Step
a. The total number of digital movie screens in the world is 90,000. 90,000 is the denominator of the fraction. Of the 90,000 digital movie screens, about 36,000 are in the U.S./Canada. Therefore, the fraction of digital movie screens in the U.S./Canada is
$ \frac{36,000}{90,000}$
This can be simplified to
$\frac{18,000(2) }{18,000 (5)}= \frac{2}{5}$
b. 36,000 digital movie screens are in the U.S./Canada. The remaining are not in the U.S./Canada.
$ 90,000- 36,000= 54,000$
c. 54,000 digital movie screens are not in the U.S./Canada. The total of digital movie screens in the world is 90,000.
$ \frac{54,000}{90,000}$
This can be simplified to
$ \frac{18,000 (3)}{18,000 (5)}= \frac{3}{5}$
