Answer 2

Answer :-

• 720 students failed in the examination.

Given :-

• Out of 1200 children, 60% failed in an examination.

To find :-

• The number of students who failed in the examination.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Total number of students in the examination = 1200.
• 60% of the children failed in the examination.

• So, to find the number of students, we have to find 60% of 1200.

-------------------------

$\sf 60\% \: of \: 1200$

Converting 60% into fraction,

$\sf \dfrac{60}{100}\times 1200$

Cutting off the zeroes,

$\sf \dfrac{60}{1} \times 12$

Now let's multiply the remaining numbers since we can't reduce them anymore.

$\sf 60 \times 12$

Multiplying 60 with 12,

$\overline{\boxed{\sf 720}}$

-------------------------

• Hence, 720 students failed in the examination.
