2/5 are girls, therefore 3/5 are boys
3/5 = 24
1/5 = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
2/5 = 8 x 2 = 16
Altogether = 16 + 24 = 40
24 - 1 6 = 8
There are 40 children altogether
There are 8 more boys than girls.

Answer:
y= -2/5 x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
So the equation is y=mx+b. Where m=slope and b=y-intercept. To find b, you would see at what point does the line cross the y axis. That would be at -4 so, -4 would be the b or y-intercept. To find m, you would take two points on the line and use this equation:
m=(y2 - y1 )/(x2 - x1)
If you were using the points, (-10,0) and (0, -4) the equation would be:
m=(-4-0) / (0+10)
So, m= -2/5
The equation of the line would end up being:
y= -2/5 x -4
Convert the mixed number 2 1/4 into an improper fraction: 9/4.
Then multiply this 9/4 by 3: 27/4, or 6 3/4.
