Who likes to get wet in the rain? A child made this Chapati Chart after asking his friends.
See the Chapati Chart and tell:
1) How many children like to get wet in the rain?
a) half
b) one-fourth
c) three-fourth
Observe the Chapati Chart. If you divide the circle into four equal parts, three parts represent the children who like to get wet in the rain. Therefore, three-fourth of the children like to get wet in the rain. Hence, option c) is the correct answer.
2) How many children do not like to get wet in the rain?

If the number of children in the class is 28, then tell the number of children
Who like to get wet in the rain?
Step 1: The total number of children is 28. Three-fourth of the children like to get wet in the rain. Divide 28 by 4 to get one-fourth of the children.
28 ÷ 4 = 7
Step 2: Multiply 7 by 3 to get three-fourth of the total children.
7 × 3 = 21
Therefore, 21 children like to get wet in the rain.
Who do not like to get wet in the rain __________
