Mathematics Questions
50. If 78 students represent 30% of the total class strength, what is the total number of students in the class?
Solution
Let's use the given information to find the total number of students:
Number of students representing 30% = 78
To find 100% (the total number of students), we can set up a proportion:
30/100 = 78/x
Cross-multiply: 30x = 78 × 100
30x = 7800
Divide by 30: x = 7800 ÷ 30 = 260
Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 260.
51. What is the sum of 0.3 + 0.03 + 0.003 + 0.0003?
Solution
To find the sum, add the numbers:
0.3 + 0.03 = 0.33
0.33 + 0.003 = 0.333
0.333 + 0.0003 = 0.3333
Therefore, the sum is 0.3333
