Question

A group of students went on a field trip. There were 3 boys for every 4 girls in the group. If there were 20 girls, how many students in all went on the field trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

35 students

Step-by-step explanation:

So if every 3 boys there is 4 girls you can solve that there is 5 times the amount of girls to get to 20. So to solve for the boys you do the same.

3 x 5 = 15

That means there are 15 boys and 20 girls but we want to know the total so what you do is just add 15+20=35

So 35 total students.

Hope that helps and have a great day!
