Answer: 104 (Good chance its wrong)
Step-by-step explanation: if the ratio is 3:1 then there's 3 times as much boys as girls. if there are 52 more boys then that means 52 is twice as much as the number of girls so if we divide is by 2 we get 26. if we add 26 with 52 we get 78 and if we divide 78 by 3 we get 26. so I believe there are 26 girls and 78 boys. 26+78=104
I believe 104 is the answer but there's a good chance i'm wrong.
Answer:
they are different because of the mode sign on the second 's',
which if you are wondering what it stands for,
it represents only the magnitude of the value needed, not its sign,
let the assumed value of s be -5,
for example iin the first case, s < 3
hence s = -5, and it is true for s < 3
OR
if we take the second case, lsl < 3
that would be s = 5 [ not -5], which would not be true for lsl < 3
i hope u understood it,
if any more questions...please ask :)
