Answer:

The answer is k = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{12}{k}=\frac{18}{42}$

Cross multiply. Remember, $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$ ⇒ ad=bc

$\frac{12}{k}=\frac{18}{42}$ ⇒ k·18=12·42

k·18=12·42

Simplify

18k=504

÷18 on both sides

k=504÷18

Simplify

k=28

How many boys are there in a group of 27 students if there are four-fifths as many girls as there are boys?

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

15 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 27 students. The number of girls is only 4/5 of the number of boys. I started by splitting the class. 14 boys and 13 girls doesn't work, so I changed it to 12 and 15. If it was 12 girls and 15 boys, the girls would have 4/5 of the boys, so it must be 12 girls and 15 boys.
