In a classroom,
1
-
6
of the students are wearing blue shirts , and
2
-
3
are wearing white shirts. There are 18 students in the classroom. How many students are wearing shirts other than blue shirts or white shirts?

Total number of students in the class = 36

Number of students wearing blue shirts = (1/6) * 36

                                                                = 36/6

                                                                = 6

Number of students wearing white shirts = (2/3) * 36

                                                                 = 2 * 12

                                                                 = 24

Then

Number of students not wearing blue or white shirts in the class = 36 - (6 + 24)

                                                                                                       = 36 - 30

                                                                                                       = 6

So 6 students in the class are wearing a shirt other than a blue or a white shirt. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps and if it did pls mark me as brainiest

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
