Answer:

15

Explanation:

Total students = 60

Number of student who gave speech yesterday = 2/3 of 60


=(2)/(3)*60=2*20 = 40

Remaining students = 60 - 40 = 20

Number of students who gave speech today = 1/4 of 20


=(1)/(4)*20=1*5=5

Number of students who still haven't give speech = 20 - 5 = 15
