Question

In a class, one out of every seven student fails. If there are 56 students in a class, how many pass.​

Answer 1

THEREFORE THE STUDENT FAILED = 7X

THE EQUATION WILL BE

7X=56

THEREFORE X=8

SO THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS PASSING WILL BE

56-8=48

THEREFORE, THE STUDENTS :

PASSES=48

FAILED=8
