Question

There are 150 students and 3/5 of these students are girls. 2/3 play school activities. how many play activities?

Answer 1

60 girls play activities

Explanation:

150/30= 3/5 = 90/150

2/3 =60/90

60 girls

Answer 2

100 or 60

Explanation:

Since the question does not specify whether
`(2)/(3)` refers to only the girls or all students, both will be calculated for your convenience.

If 2/3 refers to all students:

150*
`(2)/(3)`

=100

If 2/3 refers to the girls:

150*
`(3)/(5)`*
`(2)/(3)`

=150*
`(2)/(5)`

=60
