Question

There are 24 students in a class.
They voted to choose a colour for the class shirts.

1/4 of the class chose blue.
1/6 of the class chose yellow.
The rest of the class chose red.

How many chose red colour class shirts?

Answer 1

Answer:

14

Explanation:

because 1/4means 6 chose blue

1/6means 4 chose yellow

so 6+4= 10

24-10= 14

Answer 2

14 students

Explanation:

Total number of students in a class = 24

Number of students choose blue = 24×1/4

= 6 students

Number of students choose yellow = 24×1/6

= 4 students

Number of students choose red = Total number of students in a class -( Number of students choose blue + Number of students choose yellow )

= 24 - (6+4)

= 24 - 10

= 14

Therefore,Number of students choose red = 14 students.
