Question

In a school 1/5 part girls and 1/8 part boys participate in a camp.

the total students participate in the camp?​

Answer 1

Total students participated in the camp = $\frac{13X}{40}$

Explanation:

Let us assume total no.of students in a school  = X.

Girls participated in the camp from school (G) = 1/5 (X) = X/5.

Boys participated in the camp from school (B) = 1/8 (X) = X/8.

Total students in the camp from school (T) = G + B

T = $\frac{X}{5}$ + $\frac{X}{8}$

L.C.M of 5,8 = 40

T =  $\frac{8(X) + 5(X)}{40}$

T = $\frac{13 X}{40}$

Total students attended (T) = $\frac{13X}{40}$
