###Human: 240 sixth-grade students were asked about the number of novels they read per month. 1/6 of students read three or more novels, 35% of students read two novels, 5/12 of students read one novel, and the rest of the students do not read anything. Calculate the number of students who do not read novels., ### Assistant: 1/6 * 240 students = 40 students. So 40 students read three or more novels.
35/100 * 240 students = 84 students. So 84 students read two novels.
5/12 * 240 students = 100 students. So 100 students read a novel.
240 students – (40 students + 84 students + 100 students) = 240 students – 224 students = 16 students. So 16 students don't read novels. 
 So the answer is :  16
