Answer 2

`\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.
