Answer 1

Answer:

i) 24 students

ii) 8 students

iii) 1/5 fraction

iv) bus

Step-by-step explanation:

i) 3/5 of 40 come by bus. Therefore 24 students come by bus.

ii) 1/5 of students come by cycle. Therefore 8 students come by cycle.

iii) Now fraction of students who came by walking = 40-{ 24+8}= 40 - 32 = 8

Therefore 8/40 students come by walking = 1/5 fraction of students come by walking.

iv)The most opted mode of transport used by students is bus.
