Question

Out of 240 students in a school, 1/2 of them play outdoor games and 1/6 of them do yoga. What is the number of students who do not participate in either outdoor games and yoga?

Answer 1

Answer:

Eighty

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 240 number of students.

1/2 of them play outdoor games. This means 240/2 = 120 of them play outdoor games.

1/6 of them do Yoga, i.e 240/6 = 40 of them do Yoga.

Hence 120 + 40 = 160 number of students either play outdoors or do yoga.

Hence subtracting this number from total number of students gives the number of students who do not participate in either outdoor games and yoga.

i.e 240 - 160 = 80.
