Answer:
28 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of students in cooking club = x
Number of students in fencing club = 1/5 x
Number of students in chess club = 2(1/5)x
Since, There are 42 more students in the cooking club than in the chess club
Then ;
Number of students in chess club = Number of students in cooking club - 42
2(1/5)x = x - 42
(2/5)x - x = - 42
(2/5)x - x = - 42
-0.6x = - 42
x = 42 / 0.6
x = 70
Hence, number of students in chess club :
(2/5) * 70 = 28
