Answer:

Further explanation:

First we got the information if

  • [tex]\boxed{\frac{4}{5}}[/tex] = do not wear glasses

  • The total of students are equal with one or [tex]\boxed{\frac{5}{5} }[/tex].

  • It means the proportion of user who wear glasses is[tex]\boxed{\frac{5}{5}-\frac{4}{5}= \frac{1}{5}}[/tex]

From this information we can process

  • [tex]\boxed{\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{5}}\times 60=240 }[/tex]
  • It means the total students in the class is the accumulation between student without glasses and with glasses or 240 + 60 = 300 students
