Question

In a class of 40 students,
$\frac{3}{5}$
of the total students joined Maths Club,
$\frac{1}{5}$
of the total number of students joined Science Club and the remaining students joined the Sports Club.What is the fraction of the students Joined the Sports Club?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fraction of a student join sports club = 8/40 = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students = 40

3/5 of the total students join math club

Thus,

(3/5)x40 = 3x8 = 24 students

1/5 of students join science club.

Thus,

(1/5)×40 = 8 students

Remaining student = 40-(24+8) students = 8 students

Fraction of a student join sports club = 8/40 = 1/4

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students = 40

2/5 of the total students like to study mathematics

Thus,

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