There were 420 students participating in Swachch Bharat campaign. They cleaned $\frac{42}{75}$ part of the town, Sevagram. What part of the Sevagram did each student clean if work was equally shared by all?

Given: There were 420 students participating in Swachch Bharat campaign.

 They cleaned $\frac{42}{75}$ part of the town.

To find : What part did each student clean ?

Solution:

There were 420 students participating in Swachch Bharat campaign. They cleaned 42/75 part of the town, Sevagram. What part of the Sevagram did each student clean if work was equally shared by all?

Number of students given = 420

They cleaned $\frac{42}{75}$ part of town called Sevagram

The part of town cleaned by each student 

= $\frac{42}{75} \div 420$

= $\frac{42}{75} \times \frac{1}{420} = \frac{1}{750}$

So part of town cleaned by each student = $\frac{1}{750}$
