step by step.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you have to find out 2/5 of 260, so divide 260 by 5, which is 52, then multiply 52 by 2 which is 104, so 104 is 2/5 of 260. Now, you can either subtract 104 from 260 or calculate 3/5 of 260 by the same method.

Hence, There are 104 students interested in English and 156 students interested in Maths.

If you have trouble understanding then let me know since its kinda complicated through letters.

Answer 2

Answer:

First step 2/5 of 260 is 14 so 260 -14 = 246

There are 246 students who are interested in maths and 14 student who are interested in English
