48/4=12

12x3=36

So there is 36 male students

36/3=12

So there is 12 male students

I hope this helped bc I don’t know if I got the question right

Answer:

12 men in this group are law students

Explanation:

75% of a group of 48 graduates are men which will be

75/100 x 48

3/4x48 = 36 are men,

and 1/3 of these men are law students

1/3 x 36 =12

Hence, 12 out of 36 men are law students
