Question

in the class of 45 students 2/5of the total no. of students play cricket,1/3play football and rest play tennis . how many play tennis?​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is 15 students will play tennis

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly 2 / 5 play cricket and 1/3 play football

we will find the LCM

which will be 15 ( we will convert the number with denominator 15

2 / 5

5 multiply 3 is 15 so 2 multiply 3 is 6

we multiply the numerator and denominator with same number

so

2/5 will be 6 / 15

1/3 will be 5 / 15

the denominators will be same

and we will subtract

to find how many rest of the children play tennis

denominators will be same

we will subtract numerators

5 - 6 is 1

and 15 will be 15

so the answer will be 1 / 15 which is 15
