Answer 1

Compute the number of students like to study English.

Since, it is given that $\frac{1}{5}$ of total number of students like to study English and there are $40$ students in class.

Therefore, the number of students who like to study English are $=40\times \frac{1}{5}$

$=8$.

Hence, $8$ students out of $40$ like to study Mathematics.
