Question 955306
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.
