Question

there are 48 students goin on a field trip. one fourth are girls. how many boys. are going on the trip?

Answer 1

There are 36 boys going on the trip.

Further Explanation

Given:

Total of the students (boy+girl) is 48 students

¹/₄ of the students are girls

Question:

How many boys. are going on the trip?

First step, with the information given, let's calculate the number of the girls by multiply the fraction with the total student:

$\boxed {= \frac{1}{4} \times 48 }\\\boxed {= 12 }$

so there are 12 girls going on the field trip

Because the total students are 48, so we can calculate the number of boys by subtraction:

Boys student = Total student - girl student

$\boxed {48 - 12 = 36 }$

We get the number of boys going on the field trip is 36 boys.

Answer 2

There are a total of 48 students so what we do is divide by 4. Then you just multiply times the 3/4 left. We get 48 divided by 4 to be 12. So 12 times 3 is....36. 48-36=12. 12 girls.
