Question

a group of children , 3/5 like to play tennis . If there are 25 children, how many do not like tennis?



​

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{\mathscr{\purple{answer : }}}}$

So for the fractions that we know, 2/6 + 3/6, or 5/6 total, is accounted for. Next, we find that the remaining 6 people played cricket. This remaining group counts as the 1/6 fraction that is unaccounted for. So we know that 1/6 = 6, and we just have to multiply to get the other numbers.

Answer 2

10 children do not like tennis.

Given,

In a group of children, 3/5 like to play tennis.

To Find,

If there are 25 children, how many do not like tennis?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is given that in a group of 25 children, 3/5 like to play tennis. We have to find the number of children who do not like tennis.

The number of children who like tennis will be:

$Children\: who\: like\: tennis = \frac{3}{5}\: of\: 25$

                                       $= \frac{3}{5} *25$

                                       $= 3*5 = 15$

Now,

The number of children who do not like tennis will be equal to the number of children who like tennis subtracted from the total number of children.

$Children\: who\: do\: not\: like\: tennis = 25 - 15 = 10$

Hence, 10 children do not like tennis.
