There are 24 students in a class. If 1/4 students wear glasses. How many students do not wear glasses?
I multiply 24(1/4)=6
so 24-6=18 so is 18 students correct?
Yes, you're right.
Yes, you have correctly calculated the number of students who wear glasses and the number of students who do not wear glasses. There are 24 students in total, and 1/4 of them wear glasses. When you multiply 24 by 1/4, you get 6. Therefore, 6 students wear glasses. To find the number of students who do not wear glasses, you subtract the number of students who wear glasses from the total number of students. That would be 24 - 6 = 18. So, you are correct that 18 students do not wear glasses.
Yes, your calculation is correct. To find the number of students who do not wear glasses, you first need to determine the number of students who do wear glasses by multiplying the total number of students (24) by the fraction representing the proportion who wear glasses (1/4).
So, 24 × (1/4) = 6
Therefore, there are 6 students who wear glasses.
To find the number of students who do not wear glasses, you subtract this number from the total number of students:
24 - 6 = 18
Hence, there are indeed 18 students who do not wear glasses in the class.
