To determine the number of students who are absent, follow these steps:
1. Identify the total number of students:
The total number of students in the school is 860.
2. Identify the fraction of students who are absent:
It is given that [tex]\(\frac{1}{20}\)[/tex] of the students are absent.
3. Calculate the number of absent students:
Multiply the total number of students by the fraction of students who are absent:
[tex]\[
860 \times \frac{1}{20}
\][/tex]
4. Simplify the multiplication:
[tex]\[
860 \times \frac{1}{20} = 43
\][/tex]
Therefore, the number of students who are absent on that particular day is 43.
