Answer:
<em>There are 12 boys and 18 girls</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
There are 30 students in a class. Let's call:
x = number of boys
Since the sum of boys and girls is 30:
30 - x = number of girls
The ratio of boys to girls is 2:3, thus:
Crossing denominators:
3x = 2(30 - x)
Operating the parentheses:
3x = 60 - 2x
Adding 2x:
5x = 60
Dividing by 5:
x = 60/5 = 12
x = 12
There are 12 boys and 30-12=18 girls
Answer:
What we know is that 30% of the group have brown hair and are girls. It means that in the other 70% we have the boys with brown hair, the other boys and the other girls.
In the case all the girls have brown hair, the 70% remaining would be boys. So 70% of then would have brown hair. (0.7*0.7=0.49 -> 49% of the children would be brown hair) so 49% (boys) and 30% (girls) are more than 50%..
Now, let's suppouse that 90% of the group are girls. It means 10% are boys and 70% of that 10% (=7%) are the boys in the group that have brown hair. Now 7% + 30% of the children have brown hair, wich isn't more than the half.
We have explained with two extreme cases that the information is not enough for making a precise answer
it's interpreted as 28 - 21 = 7
