Answer 1

Answer:

Totalmen. x

video game=x/2

Remaining=x/2

eating =x/2x3/4 = 3x/8

Remaining = 1-(x/2+3x/8) = 7/8 x

Remaining=1-7/8 x = I/8 x

1/8 x = 6

x=48. Ans

Answer 2

Answer

Total number of men = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution : Let total number of persons in a room be 'x'

Persons playing video games = $\frac{x}{2}$

Persons eating = $\frac{3}{4} * \frac{x}{2}$

Remaining persons = 6 = $\frac{1}{4} * \frac{x}{2}$

                                  6 × 8 = x

Therefore x = 48

Hence total number of persons in the room is 48
