Final answer:

To find the number of students wearing other shirts, subtract the ones wearing blue or white (totaling 15) from the class of 24, resulting in 9 students wearing different colored shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many students are wearing shirts other than blue shirts or white shirts, we first need to determine how many are wearing blue and white shirts. Given that 3/8 of the students are wearing blue shirts and 1/4 are wearing white shirts in a classroom with 24 students, let's do the math:

  • For blue shirts: (3/8) * 24 = 9 students
  • For white shirts: (1/4) * 24 = 6 students

Now, to find the number of students wearing other shirts, we subtract the number of students wearing blue or white shirts from the total number of students:

  • Total students wearing blue or white shirts: 9 + 6 = 15 students
  • Students wearing other shirts: 24 - 15 = 9 students
