\Large \underline{\tt Given} :


\\

  • Total number of students = 35

  • Students present on Monday =
    \tt (5)/(7)\: of \:35


\\


\Large \underline{\tt To \: Find} :


\\

  • Students not present on Monday = ?


\\


\Large \underline{\tt Solution} :


\\

As, we have :

Students present on Monday =
\tt (5)/(7) of 35


\\


\tt : \implies Students \: present \: on \: Monday = (5)/(7) * 35


\tt : \implies Students \: present \: on \: Monday = \frac{5}{\cancel{7}} * \cancel{35}


\tt : \implies Students \: present \: on \: Monday = 5 * 5


\tt : \implies Students \: present \: on \: Monday = 25


\\

Now, we have to find students not present on Monday :

As, we have :

  • Total number of students = 35
  • Students present on Monday = 25


\\

Therefore,

Students absent on Monday = 35 - 25 = 10


\\

Hence, 10 students were not present on Monday.
