Question

In a class of 40 students, 1 5 of the total number of students like to study English and 2 5 of the total numbers of the students like to study Mathematics and the remaining like to study Science. 3 a) How many students like to study English? b) How many students like to study Mathematics? c) What fraction of the total number of students like to study Science?

Answer 1

Total students 40 2/5 of the total students like to study mathematics

Thus,

(2/5)x40 = 2x8 = 16 students

Answer 2

Answer:

• 8 students
• 16 students
• 2/5 fraction of students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

• Total students in a class = 40
• 1/5 of the total number of students like English.
• 2/5 of the total numbers of the students like to study Mathematics.
• The remaining like to study Science.

Solution :-

Number of students who like to study English =

$\frac{1}{5} \times 40 = 8 \: students$

No. of students who like to study Mathematics =

$\frac{2}{5} \times 40 = 2 \times 8 = 16 \: students$

The remaining number of students =

$40 - (8 + 16) = 40 - 24 = 16 \: students$

16 students like to study Science.

Answer :-

a) How many students like to study English?

8 students.

b) How many students like to study Mathematics?

16 students.

c) What fraction of the total number of students like to study Science?

$\frac{16}{40} = \frac{2}{5} fraction \: of \: students$
