They are killed in the bullring for the entertainment of the audience. The bull is not an aggressive anima, the reason why they are angry and want to attack or charge the matador in the bullring is mainly because he has been abused for two days. So when he is let out of the box, he runs desperately at the light at the end of the tunnel.

Maths Learning

I have learnt how to work out fraction of a set problems/Equations.

For example -

C. Rebecca ate two pieces of the apple pie, what fraction of the pie did she eat?

 - 2/5

Rebecca has $25 and she gave ⅖ of her money to her sister.

How much does she got left?

5 x 5=$25

1/5 of $25 = $5

2/5 of $25 = 10

5 x 2=$10

25-10=15

Answer - 15
