Math Problem Statement
From a class of 24 students, 1/6 have blue eyes and 3/8 have green eyes. How many learners have blue eyes? How many learners do not have blue or green eyes? The area of a rectangle is 18 1/3 cm². If the length of the rectangle is 5 cm, calculate the breadth.
Solution
Let's solve the questions step by step.
Question 1.1: How many learners have blue eyes?
We are given that of the 24 students have blue eyes.
So, 4 students have blue eyes.
Question 1.2: How many learners do not have blue or green eyes?
We are given that of the 24 students have green eyes.
Total students with blue or green eyes:
Students who do not have blue or green eyes:
So, 11 students do not have blue or green eyes.
Question 2: Calculate the breadth of the rectangle
We are given:
- Area = cm² = cm² (converted to improper fraction)
- Length = 5 cm
We use the formula:
Solving for breadth:
So, the breadth is .
Would you like a more detailed breakdown? Here are five related questions:
- If another of the students had brown eyes, how many would that be?
- What percentage of the students have blue eyes?
- If the rectangle’s length was doubled, what would the new area be?
- If 2 more students joined the class and they both had green eyes, how many students would now have green eyes?
- If a square had the same area as the rectangle, what would its side length be?
