Question : 3

Total: 40

In a test

\frac{2}{3}

Solution:

Concept:

\frac{2}{3}

passed, then

\frac{1}{3}

failed. Use the number who failed to find the total, then find the number who passed.

Explanation:

Let the total number of learners be

T

Since

\frac{2}{3}

passed, the fraction who failed is:

1 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3}

The number who failed is 69, so:

\frac{1}{3}T = 69

Multiply both sides by 3:

T = 69 \times 3 = 207

Number who passed:

\frac{2}{3} \times 207 = 138

Answer:

138 learners passed.
