Question

In a cafeteria,

1/6of the students are eating salads , and 2/3
are eating sandwiches. There are 12 students in the cafeteria. How many students are eating lunches other than salads or sandwiches?

Answer 1

2 students

Explanation:

First, you find the number of students eating either salads and sandwiches. Then, you add the number of students eating salads and sandwiches together. Finally, you will subtract that number from the 12 total students

2/3 * 12/1 = 8 (sandwiches)

1/6 * 12/1 = 2 (salads)

8 + 2 = 10 (combined)

12 - 10 = 2 students
