Question

Type in the number that should go in the blank. Use a slash (/) to show a fraction.

Two-thirds of the people in the group came in blue cars, and one-eighth of them came in red cars. There were 48 people in the group, so Answer
people came in red or blue cars.

Answer 1

32 people people came in blue cars.

6 people came in red cars.

Explanation:

Here, the given total number of people in the group = 48

Number of people who came in blue cars = Two - thirds

Now, Two - thirds of 48 =
`(2)/(3)  * 48 = 32`

So, total 32 people out of total 48 people came in blue cars.

Number of people who came in red cars = One- eighth

Now, One- eighth of 48 =
`(1)/(8)  * 48 = 6`

So, total 6 people out of total 48 people came in red cars.
