Answer:

442 people named neither blue nor red.

Explanation:

Givens:


  • (3)/(7) people named blue.

  • (1)/(6) people named red.
  • The total number of people is 1092

So, we first have to calculate the number of people that named blue and red.


(3)/(7)1092=468\\(1)/(6)1092=182

This means that 468+182=650 people named blue or red.

If we find the difference between 650 and 1092, we would have the total number of people that didn't named blue nor red.

1092-650=442.

Therefore, 442 people named neither blue nor red.
