Answer:

1/20=10 years old

In a school 50% of the students are younger than 10, 1/20 are 10 years old and 1/10 are older than 10 but younger than 12, the remaining 70 students are 12 years or older. How many students are 10 years old?

50%= younger than 10

1/20=10 years old

1/10=older than 10 younger than 12

70=12 years or older

50%- 10/20

1/20-1/20

1/10-2/20

10/20+1/20+2/20=13/20

70 students =7/20

1/20 = 10 years old.

7/20 divided by 7 = 1/20

70 divided by 7=10

10 students are 10 years old
