Question

The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 3:1. If there are 52 more boys than girls, work out how many people there are in total.

Answer 1

Answer: 104 (Good chance its wrong)

Step-by-step explanation: if the ratio is 3:1 then there's 3 times as much boys as girls. if there are 52 more boys then that means 52 is twice as much as the number of girls so if we divide is by 2 we get 26. if we add 26 with 52 we get 78 and if we divide 78 by 3 we get 26. so I believe there are 26 girls and 78 boys. 26+78=104

I believe 104 is the answer but there's a good chance i'm wrong.
