Question

Mr. Franklin asked each of his 30 students to select their favorite radio station.

1/3 of the students chose station K.
1/5 of the students chose station L.
the remaining students choose station M.
How many students chose station M as their favorite radio station?
I need someone to help me through this process. I tried but I got an answer that wasn't on the page. Can someone help please?

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

We are given that

Total number of students who select their favorite radio station=30

Number of student who select their favorite radio station K=
`(1)/(3)* 30=10`

Number of student who select their favorite radio station L=
`(1)/(5)* 30=6`

We have to find that number of student who select station M.

Remaining students=30-(10+6)=30-16=14

Number of students who select their favorite radio station M=14

Hence, the number of students who select their favorite radio station M=14

Answer: 14
