Question

Answer 1

Answer: 299

Explanation:

Out of 20 students, 5 students chose basketball, 8 students chose football, and 7 chose soccer.

Students chose basketball and football=5+8=13

Fraction of students not chose soccer =
`(13)/(20)`

Assume that the fraction remains the same.

If there were 460 students, then the number of students not chose soccer
`=460*(13)/(20)\\\\=299`

Hence, the number of students not chose soccer =299
