Answer: Boys = 1024

Girls = 972

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys = x ...... ( 1 )

Therefore the number of girls = x - 52 ..…... (2 ) ( x < 52 )

X + x - 52 = 1996

2x - 52 = 1996

2x = 1996 + 52

2x = 2048

X = 2048/2

X = 1024

Substitute for x in equation ...( 2 ) to get the number of girls

1024 - 52 = 972

Now , number of boys = 1024

And number of girls = 972

During a game, players can win and lose counters. At the start of the game
Mademuasel [1]
The first step is to calculate what fraction of the counters that Rob has.

Add all the portions together to find the total: 5+6+7= 18
Rob has 5 out of the 18, or 5/18, or 0.278

Next, do the same for the end ratio:
7+9+8= 24 and Rob has 7/24, or 0.292

By comparing his beginning portion (0.278) to his end portion (0.292) it is clear that he has a greater portion of the total counters. Given that the problem states that the number of counters stays the same, Rob must have more counters than he started with.
