Question

in school 1/16 of the students were absent on a certain day if 750 students were present on the day find the total number of students in the school

Answer 1

Number of students

Given: 1/16 students were absent on a certain day

To find: if 750 students were present on the day, then what is the total number of students in the school

Solution:

Let the total number of students be x

Given, 1/16 of total number of students were absent.

Then the students present on the day is

= 1 - 1/16 = (16 - 1)/16 = 15/16 of total number of students

By the given condition

or, 15/16 × x = 750

or, x = 750 × 16/15

or, x = 800

Answer: The total number of students in the school is 800.

Answer 2

Answer:

800

Step-by-step explanation:

1/16 we can write it in ratio =1:16

means total student is 16 and 1 is absent

then 15 ratio value is given =750

one ratio value is 750

15

one ratio is 50 then 16 ratio =16×50=800

this is the answer
