10 students like to watch movies.

first, to find what a sixth of 30 is, you have to divide your number by the denominator (30/6) which is 5, then add that to half of thirty (15) to find out how many kids DONT watch movies. 15+5=20, and to find how many kids are remaining you have to do 30-20, which equals 10, meaning there are a total of ten kids who like to watch movies.
