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

Hi ,

Let

i )the total number of spectators = x

ii )Number of spectators

in coverd place = 2x/7

iii ) number of

Spectators in open place = x - 2x / 7

= ( 7x - 2x ) / 7

= 5x / 7 -----( 1 )

According to the problem given ,

Number of spectators in

the open place = 15000 --------( 2 )

( 1 ) = ( 2 )

5x / 7 = 15000

x = ( 15000 ) × ( 7 / 5 )

x = 3000 × 7

x = 21000

Therefore ,

Total spectators = x = 21000

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Given :

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

To Find :

find the total number of spectators.

Solution:

Let x be the total number of spectators

We are given that At a cricket test match 2/7 of the spectators were in a covered

So, Number of covered spectators =$\frac{2}{7}x$

So, Number of spectators in open place =$x-\frac{2}{7}x$

Number of spectators in open place =$\frac{5}{7}x$

We are given that 15000 were in open place

So,$\frac{5}{7}x = 15000$

$x=\frac{15000 \times 7}{5}$

x=21000

Hence  the total number of spectators are 21000✅
