Let the no. of girls be x and boys be y......
x/y=1/3
=>3x=y            ...............(I)
now 4 boys leave the class is then
x/y-4=2/5
=>5x=2y-8
(I)=>5x=2(3x)-8
x=8
now 3x=y
=>y=24
therefore no. of girls is 8 and the no. of boy is 24..............

Mr. Smith offered to stay after school for an extra help session. The day after the
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

132 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Smith offers to take extra help session for students after school

The day after the help session 11 of his students were talking and found out that only 2 had stayed up for the help session

= 2/11

There were actually a total number of 24 students that stayed

We are asked to find the number of student that Mr Smith teaches throughout the day

Let x represent the number of students that were taught during the day

Therefore, the number of student that Mr Smith teaches during the day can be calculated as follows

2/11=24/x

Cross multiply both sides

2 × x = 24 × 11

2x= 264

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2=264/2

x= 132

Hence Mr Smith teaches 132 students during the day.
