Question

If one - sixth of class students are above average and one- fourth are average and rest are below average. If there are 48 students in all. How many are below average? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

28 students are below average.

Step-by-step explanation:

You first need to convert all the fractions into percentages.

One-sixth = 1/6 = 0.166666667  

or 0.1666667 * 100 = 16.67%

Which means, 16.67% students are above average.

One-fourth = 1/4 = 0.25

or 0.25*100 = 25%

Which means, 25% students are above average.

Remaining percent of students = 100% - 25% - 16.67% = 58.33%

So, number of below average students = 58.33% * 48 = 28
