Scientists from all over the world are attending a 3-day long medical conference in Hyderabad. There are 955 women and 875 men scientists at the venue.
What is the total number of scientists attending the conference?
On the last day of the conference, an additional 136 scientists will attend from Delhi. How many scientists will be attending the conference on the last day?
Answer (1)
To solve the question of how many scientists are attending the medical conference, we can break it down into two parts:
Calculate the total number of scientists attending initially:
There are 955 women and 875 men attending the conference. To find the total number of scientists, simply add the number of women and men:
955 + 875 = 1830
So, initially, 1,830 scientists are attending the conference.
Calculate the number of scientists attending on the last day:
On the last day of the conference, 136 additional scientists will join from Delhi. To find the total number of scientists attending on the last day, we add these to the initial attendees:
1830 + 136 = 1966
Therefore, on the last day, a total of 1,966 scientists will be attending the conference.
Using these simple addition calculations, we can determine the total number of scientists at the conference both initially and on the last day.
