Question

In a class of 40 students, 1 by5 of the class likes to eat only rice, 2by5 the class likes to eat only chapati and


the remaining class likes to eat both rice and chapati. What fraction of the class likes to eat both rice​

Answer 1

Answer:

i think its 3\5

Step-by-step explanation:

so in the question we see that 1/5=rice and 2/5=chapati okay.So we will first take the two fractions and add them and then minus them by the total fraction of the class which is 5/5.SO 1/5+2/5=3/5  5/5-3/5=2/5  2/5 is the rest of the class which eats both chapati and rice .So we will take the number of the students who like to eat rice only and add with those who like rice and chapati to get the final answer as 3/5
