Ang Qi Jian's answer to Fortunato's Primary 5 Maths Fractions Singapore question.
For this qns you will have to work backwards to find how may people board at the first stop.
By subtracting 428 from 68, you will get 360 passenger which represent 5/7 of the passenger who board the bus at the second stop excluding the 68 passenger.
Hence the total passenger who board on the second stop is ( 360/5 ) x 7 = 504 passenger
Hence by repeating the steps aforementioned , you will be able to deduce the number of passenger who board at the first stop.
