There are 40 students in a class. If 1/10 are absent, 3/4 of the students who are present are in the classroom, and the rest are in the canteen, how many students are in the canteen?
How many students are absent? ** Out of the 40, 40 x 1/10 = <<40*1/10=4>>4 students are absent.
How many students are present in school? ** So, 40 - 4 = <<40-4=36>>36 students are present in school.
How many students are in the classroom? ** Out of the 36, 36 x 3/4 = <<36*3/4=27>>27 students are in the classroom.
How many students are in the canteen? ** This means, 36 - 27 = <<36-27=9>>9 students are in the canteen.
