Answer 1

Answer:

Number of sailors on board the ship = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Total crew members = 48

Let the number of sailors on board the ship be x.

Number of engineers =

$\frac{1}{6} \: of \: total \: crew \: members \\ = \frac{1}{6} \times 48 \\ = \frac{8 \times 6}{6} \\ = 8$

Number of engineers on board the ship = 8

Number of stewards =

$\frac{1}{4} \: of \: total \: crew \: members \\ = \frac{1}{4} \times 48 \\ = \frac{12 \times 4}{4} \\ = 12$

Number of stewards on board the ship = 12

Total number of crew members = Number of engineers + Number of stewards + Number of sailors

48 = 8 + 12 + x

48 = 20 + x

x = 48 - 20 = 28

Number of sailors on board the ship = 28
