Question

A class has 48 students, on a specific day, only \(\rm \frac{3}{8}\) of the students were present; the number of absentees on the same day would be:
1. 18
2. 28
3. 38
4. 30

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 30

Given:

No of students in a class = 48 

Fraction of students present = 3/8

Calculation:

Fraction of students absent = 1 - 3/8 = 5/8 

∴ No of absentees on the same day = 48 × 5/8 

⇒ 30
