Answer:

number of boys = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys to girls is 5 : 7

Sum of the ratio is 12

The total students in the class is 36 students which include girls and boys.

since the ratio of boys to girls is known the number of boys and the number of girls can be computed.

Total student = 36

number of boys = 5/12 × 36

number of boys = 5 × 3

number of boys = 15

The number of girls = 36 - 15 = 21

Answer:

It should be the first answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first answer says "If Nemo is a fish, then he swims". That makes sense. Then the second one says "If Nemo does swim, then he is a fish". That would make sense, but if my name was Nemo, I can swim. That doesn't mean I'm a fish. The the third one says "If Nemo is not a fish, then he doesn't swim". That doesn't make sense. Say my name is Nemo. I'm not a fish. I can swim though!
