Question

At a cricket test match 2/7 of the spectators were in a covered place while 15000 were in open. Find the total number of spectators.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

21000

Step-by-step explanation:

As 2/7 of spectators where in covered place.

So, the spectators in open will be:-

1-2/7 = 5/7

Also spectators in open are 15000...(given)

Therefore, 5/7=15000

1/7 = 3000

To find- Total number of spectators=7/7

Therefore,

3000x7 = 21000

Total number of spectators are 21000.

Answer 2

21000

2/7 +15000 = x

15000= x = 2/7 x

15000= 5/7 x

x =15000 ×7/8

there were 21000
