1/6 students like math, 2/3 like reading and 12 like science. How many students were asked.
seventy two .
18.......i think..:D
12.8333 LOL
72
To find the total number of students, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of the fractions given.
The denominators are 6 and 3. The LCM of 6 and 3 is 6.
So, if 1/6 students like math and 2/3 students like reading, we can multiply the numerators of the fractions by 6 to find the numerator in terms of 6 students.
(1/6) * 6 = 1 student likes math
(2/3) * 6 = 4 students like reading
In total, we have:
1 student likes math
4 students like reading
12 students like science
Now, to find the total number of students, we add up the number of students who like math, reading, and science:
1 + 4 + 12 = 17
Therefore, 17 students were asked.
