In a class of 40 students, 1/5 of the total number of students like to eat rice only, 2/5 of the total number of students like to eat chapati only and the remaining students like to eat both. What fraction of the total number of students like to eat both
Solution:
Total number of students = 40
Students who eats rice = 1/5 × 40 = 8
Students who eats chapati = 2/5 × 40 = 16
Number of students who eats both rice and chapati = 40 - (8 + 16) = 16
The required fraction according to situation = 16/40 = 2/5
Therefore, the required fraction of the total number of students like to eat both is 2/5
✦ Try This: Evaluate 2/5 × 40 + 1/5 × 40
To solve the above problem you can follow the fractions and decimals rules to get the required answer.
