The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will follow the logical deductions made in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Define the Total Number of Students Let the total number of students in the class be represented by \( T \). According to the problem, \( \frac{3}{5} \) of the students are girls. ### Step 2: Calculate the Number of Girls and Boys From the total number of students \( T \): - Number of girls = \( \frac{3}{5} T \) - Number of boys = \( T - \frac{3}{5} T = \frac{2}{5} T \) ### Step 3: Determine the Absent Girls We know that \( \frac{2}{9} \) of the girls are absent. Therefore, the number of absent girls is: \[ \text{Absent girls} = \frac{2}{9} \times \frac{3}{5} T = \frac{6}{45} T = \frac{2}{15} T \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Present Girls The number of girls present can be calculated as: \[ \text{Present girls} = \text{Total girls} - \text{Absent girls} = \frac{3}{5} T - \frac{2}{15} T \] To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 15 is 15: \[ \frac{3}{5} T = \frac{9}{15} T \] Thus, \[ \text{Present girls} = \frac{9}{15} T - \frac{2}{15} T = \frac{7}{15} T \] ### Step 5: Determine the Absent Boys Next, we know that \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the boys are absent. Therefore, the number of absent boys is: \[ \text{Absent boys} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{5} T = \frac{2}{20} T = \frac{1}{10} T \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Present Boys The number of boys present can be calculated as: \[ \text{Present boys} = \text{Total boys} - \text{Absent boys} = \frac{2}{5} T - \frac{1}{10} T \] Again, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 10 is 10: \[ \frac{2}{5} T = \frac{4}{10} T \] Thus, \[ \text{Present boys} = \frac{4}{10} T - \frac{1}{10} T = \frac{3}{10} T \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Total Present Students Now we can find the total number of students present: \[ \text{Total present} = \text{Present girls} + \text{Present boys} = \frac{7}{15} T + \frac{3}{10} T \] To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 15 and 10 is 30: \[ \frac{7}{15} T = \frac{14}{30} T \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{3}{10} T = \frac{9}{30} T \] Thus, \[ \text{Total present} = \frac{14}{30} T + \frac{9}{30} T = \frac{23}{30} T \] ### Step 8: Find the Part of Total Students Present Finally, the part of the total number of students that are present is: \[ \text{Part of total students present} = \frac{\text{Total present}}{T} = \frac{\frac{23}{30} T}{T} = \frac{23}{30} \] ### Final Answer The part of the total number of students that are present is \( \frac{23}{30} \). ---
