In a class, one out of every six students fails. If there are 42 students in the class, how many pass?
Given, total number of students = 42
One out of 6 student fails
x out of 42 students
16 = x/42
x = 42/6
x = 7
Number of students who fail = 7 students
No of students who pass =Total students – Number of students who fail
= 42 – 7
= 35 students.
