Jumbo jet => 23/30
Economy class => 1/6
First class => x
First class + economy class + flight crew = Jumbo jet
x + 1/6 = 23/30-x
2x = 23/30 - 5/30
2x = 18/30
x = 9/30 = 3/10
therefore flight crew consists of 3/10 fraction
Economy class => 1/6
First class => x
First class + economy class + flight crew = Jumbo jet
x + 1/6 = 23/30-x
2x = 23/30 - 5/30
2x = 18/30
x = 9/30 = 3/10
therefore flight crew consists of 3/10 fraction

Fraction of the passengers on economy class = 23/30
Fraction of the passengers on first class = 1/6
Find the total fraction of passengers on economy class and first class:
Total passengers = 23/30 + 1/6 = 14/15
Find the total number crews on the plane:
Crews = 1 - 14/15 = 1/15
Answer: 1/15 of the people on the planes are cabin and flight crews.
