Answer: There are 56 boys in the 10th grade
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
ratio of boys to girls in the 10th grade is 8 :13
Number of girls= 91
To find the number of boys, we first find the total number of boys and girls in the 10th grade
Step 2
Now the total ratio= 8 +13=21
Number of girls = ratio of girls/ total ratio x Total number of students
91=13/ 21 x Total number of students
Total number of students =21 x 91 / 13 =147
Step 3
Therefore Number of boys =ratio of boys/ total ratio x Total number of student
8/21 x 147=56
I'll be honest, this is a pretty interesting question. I've never seen anything like it before!
We can start off by making equations with the given. If there are 100 heads, that means that the total number of chickens and pigs combined is 100. Thus, we can form our first equation:
p + c = 100
('p' represents number of pigs, and 'c' represents number of chickens)
We also know that there are 270 legs total. Since chickens have 2 and pigs have 4, we can make the following equation:
2c + 4p = 270
I suppose the quickest way to solve for this equation is to use the subtraction method. Put the equations on top of each other:
2c + 4p = 270
c + p = 100
___________
Multiply the bottom equation by -2;
2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = 100
____________
"Add" these two equations together:
2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = -200
___________
2p = 70
Divide both sides by 2:
p = 35
Ah, finally. Now that we know that there are 35 pigs, input this variable into the first equation to find the number of chickens:
c + 35 = 100
Subtract:
c = 65
There are 35 pigs and 65 chickens
