Answer:
9 boys and 12 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
if you multiply the denominators by 3, you get "out of" 21. All you need to do after that is multiply the top by 3 as well and it tells you there are 9 boys and 12 girls.
The final answer would be:
9x / (x-8)
The exact steps are shown in the attached picture.
Note that when dividing two fractions, we convert the division into multiplication and flip the second term.
