There are 300 passengers on board an airplane. 2/3 of them are men, ¼ are women and the rest are children. How many children are there?
2/3 * 300 = 200 men
1/4 * 300 = 75 women
300 - 275 = _____ children
To find the number of children on the airplane, we first need to determine the number of men and women.
Given:
Total passengers = 300
1. Calculate the number of men:
Men = 2/3 * Total passengers
Men = 2/3 * 300
Men = 200
2. Calculate the number of women:
Women = 1/4 * Total passengers
Women = 1/4 * 300
Women = 75
To find the number of children, we need to subtract the number of men and women from the total number of passengers:
Children = Total passengers - (Men + Women)
Children = 300 - (200 + 75)
Children = 300 - 275
Children = 25
Therefore, there are 25 children on the airplane.
To find the number of children on board the airplane, we need to subtract the number of men and women from the total number of passengers.
First, let's calculate the number of men:
2/3 of 300 passengers are men. To find this value, we multiply 2/3 by 300:
(2/3) * 300 = (2 * 300) / 3 = 600 / 3 = 200 men
Next, let's calculate the number of women:
1/4 of 300 passengers are women. To find this value, we multiply 1/4 by 300:
(1/4) * 300 = (1 * 300) / 4 = 300 / 4 = 75 women
Now, let's calculate the number of children:
To find the number of children, we subtract the sum of men and women from the total number of passengers:
Total passengers = men + women + children
300 = 200 + 75 + children
To solve for the number of children, we rearrange the equation:
children = Total passengers - men - women
children = 300 - 200 - 75
children = 25
Therefore, there are 25 children on board the airplane.
