Answer:

7 groups, 3 boys and 8 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of groups be x

and total hikers in one group be y

if number of girls and boys in every group is same, then

\frac{21}{x} + \frac{56}{x} = y

\frac{21 + 56}{x} = y\\x*y = 77 ....(1)

from (1) x will either be 11 or 7

for x = 11 the values won't be real.

For x = 7\\y = \frac{77}{7} \\y = 11

so there will be 7 groups with 11 hikers in each groups and every group will have \frac{21}{7} = 3 boys and \frac{56}{7} = 8 girls

Which of the following comparisons is FALSE?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check each one-by-one.

a.

we know 3.79 liters is 1 gallon, so 4 liters IS NOT LESS THAN 1 gallon

THis is false.

b.

We know 1 feet is 0.30 meters, so definitely 1 foot is less than 1 meter.

This is true.

c.

we know around 28.35 grams is 1 ounce, so definitely 25 grams is less than 1 ounce.

THis is true.

d.

We know 1 km is approximately 0.62 miles so 10 km would be around 0.62*10 = 6.2 miles

So definitely 9 miles IS GREATER than 10 km.

THis is true.

So answer choice A is false, only.
