Question

In a class of 40 students 1/5 like english and 2/5 like mathematics and remaining like science. find :-
1 students like english
2 students like mathematics
3 fraction of students like science​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Total no. of students = 40

since, 1/5 of 40 students like English

so, no. of students like English = 1/5 × 40 = 8

(2) No. of students like mathematics = 2/5 × 40 = 16

(3) No. of students like science = {(total students) - ( no.of students like English + no. of students like mathematics)}

= 40 - ( 8 + 16)

= 40 - 24

= 16

fraction= 16/40

= 2/5
