40 pupils speak French and English
5 pupils speak only English
Step-by-step explanation:
**The grammar has some errors, but I hope I understood it correctly to answer your question correctly!**
Here's what we know about the question:
- 1/10 of the 50 pupils speak only FRENCH
- 4/5 of the 50 pupils speak FRENCH and ENGLISH
- rest of the pupils speak only ENGLISH
Here's what we're trying to find:
- # of pupils that speaks FRENCH and ENGLISH
- # of pupils that speak only ENGLISH
Let's start of with find how many pupils speak French:
1/10 of the 50 pupils speak French. To find the # of pupils, divide 50 by 10:
50/10 = 5
5 pupils speak only French
Now let's find out how many pupils speak French and English:
4/5 of the 50 pupils speak French and English. We are going to divide 50 by 5 and then multiply the result by 4:
50/5 = 10
10 * 4 = 40
40 pupils speak French and English
Finally, let's find the number of pupils that speak only English:
The question only says that the rest of the 50 pupils speak only English.
We are going to add the other pupils who don't speak only English, then subtract that value from 50:
40 + 5 = 45
50 - 45 = 5
5 pupils speak only English
