Question

In a class of 30 students, 1/2 of the total number of students like to play basketball, 1/5 of the total number like to play cricket and the remaining students like to play football. How many students like to play basketball? How many students like to play football?

Answer 1

Answer:

30 ×1/2=15

30×1/5=6

therefore 6 students like to play cricket and

15 students like to play basketball.

15+6 =21

total number of students = 30

number of students like to play football= 30-21=9

Answer 2

Answer: I believe the answer is 12

Step-by-step explanation: the total number is 30 and half of 30 is 15

so 15 students remaining. Which makes your new total 15, so 1/5 of 15 is 3

30* 1/2 = 15 like to play basketball

15 * 1/5 =  3 like to play cricket.

you add 15 + 3 = 18 so

30 - 18 is 12

so the answer is 12 students like to play football.

I hope this helps!
