Let x =  the number of boys.
Let y =  the number of girls.

There are 48 children, therefore
x + y = 48           (1)

There are twice as many boys as girls, therefore
x = 2y                 (2)

Substitute (2) into (1).
2y + y = 48
3y = 48
y = 48/3 = 16
x = 2y = 2*16 = 32

x=32, y = 16

Answer: 16 girls

Leokris [45]
<h2><u>RECIPROCAL</u></h2>

<h3>ANSWER: </h3>
  • \boxed{ \bold{3 \: \: \:  or  \: \:  \:  \frac{3}{1} }}

<h3>EXPLANATION:</h3>

As we can see above, it's clear that 3 and 1/3 are reciprocals of each other.

And we can find the reciprocal of 1/3 by forming a fraction and to multiply the numerator and denominator by 3.

  • \\ \large  \tt \:  \frac{1 \times 3}{ \frac{1}{3} \times 3 }  =  \bold{ \frac{3}{1}  = 3} \\ \\

Hence, 3/1 or 3 is the correct answer.
