Question

1800 people visited a book fair. 7/18
of them were men and 11/24of them were ladies.
The remaining were children. What fraction of them were children and how
many children were present?

Answer 1

The total no. of people = 1800
The fraction of men = 7/18

Therefore, the total no. of men = 7/18 ×1800
= 700
Similarly,
The total no. of ladies = 825
The total no. of men and ladies = 700+825
= 1325
Therefore,
The no. of children's = 1800-1325
= 275
Therefore,
The fraction of children present = 275/1800
= 72/11(convert it in mixed fraction)
ANS:- THE FRACTION OF CHILDREN PRESENT IN THE BOOK FAIR WERE 72/11 (convert in mixed fraction).
