Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
a+b=c
a=girls
b= boys
c= total
the statement tell us:
4/5 of a class is girls:
a=(4/5)*c
boys=b=8
c=a+b
so we have:
c=(4/5)*c + 8
c-(4/5)*c=8
(5c-4c)/5 = 8
c/5=8
c=8*5
c=40
total=40

SQRT each individual bit: 4 and
and 9 and
First, let's start off with the information we already have. Since the ratio is 4 boys to 5 girls, there has to be a minimum of 9 students (4 being boys and 5 being girls).
9 will be the denominator of both of our fractions since the boys and girls are in the same class.
The fraction of boys in the class is 4/9 (since there are 4 boys to 5 girls in a class of 9, we would write 4 over 9) and the fraction of girls in the class is 5/9.
This is a simplified version of the fractions. If this is a multiple-answer question and 4/9 and 5/9 are not up there, try multiplying the fractions with different numbers and see what fractions will be correct.
But either way, 4/9 and 5/9 are correct :)
