Question

Ali is a dean of a private school where he teaches one class. John is also a dean of a public school. John has two classes in his school. Each class has 1/8 the capacity of Ali’s class which has the capacity of 120 students. What is the combined capacity of both schools?

Answer 1

Answer: 150 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Ali's class has a capacity of 120 students. Each of John's classes has a capacity of 120/8 = 15 students. The total capacity of John's two classes is 15 students * 2 classes = 30 students. The combined capacity of the two schools is 120 students + 30 students = 150 students.

Answer 2

Answer:

150 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of Ali's Class:

Ali's class has a capacity of 120 students.

Capacity of John's Classes:

Each of John's classes has 1/8 of the capacity of Ali's class.

So, the capacity of each of John's classes is:

$\frac{1}{8} \times 120 = 15$ students.

Number of John's Classes:

John has two classes.

Combined Capacity of John's Classes:

Since John has two classes, the combined capacity of his classes is:

$2 \times 15 = 30$ students.

Combined Capacity of Both Schools:

To find the combined capacity of both schools, we add the capacity of Ali's class to the combined capacity of John's classes:

$120 + 30 = 150$ students.

Therefore, the combined capacity of both schools is 150 students.
