Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3/n of the children below 5 years of age are properly nourished.
this means that (n-3)/n of the children below 5 years of are are not properly nourished.
if there are c children below 5 years, this means that (n-3) * c / n of them are not properly nourished.
let's see if this makes sense.
assume n = 9
this means that 3 out of 9 children are properly nourished.
this means that 6 out of 9 children are not properly nourished.
if you have 9000 students, then:
3/9 * 9000 = 3000 are properly nourished.
(9-3)/9 * 9000 = 6/9 * 9000 = 6000 are not properly nourished.
this makes sense.
so, from the formula, you get:
3/n are nourished.
(n-3)/n are not nourished.
if there are c children, then:
3/n * c are nourished.
(n-3)/n * c are not nourished.
not nourished means insufficiently nourished.
