Some pupils from your school participate in sports games; precisely 2/31 participate in athletics and 1/9 in volleyball games. Knowing that there are a total of 98 participants, calculate how many pupils are not participating in sports games.

Answer 1

The pupils who are not participating in sports games are 82

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

2/31 participate in athletics

1/9 in volleyball games

Total participants=98

Therefore, pupils participate in athletics= 98*2/31

pupils participate in athletics=6

pupils participate in volleyball games=98*1/9

pupils participate in volleyball games=10

Therefore, pupils are not participating in sports games=98-16

pupils are not participating in sports games=82

The pupils who are not participating in sports games are 82
