Answer:

I am pretty sure there are 10 people in line.

Since Ashley is the seventh person in line, we can deduce that <u><em>there are 6 people in front of her</em></u>.

Since the amount of people in front of her is "twice as many people as there are behind her," we can divide the value of the people in front of her in half to get the value of people behind her.

6/2 is 3, so <em>there are </em><u><em>3 people behind Ashley</em></u><em>. </em>

Now, lets add the amount of people in front of Ashley to the amount of people behind her. 3 + 6 = 9, and since Ashley is also in the line, we should add 1 to the sum.

9 + 1 = 10, so <u><em>there are 10 people in the line</em></u>.

The ratio of boys to girls in Jamal's class is 3:2. If four more girls join the class, there will be the same number of boys and
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

12 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

Number of boys = 3

Number of girls = 2

Boys: Girls

3:2

Let :

a = boys

b = girls

Hence, a : b = 3 : 2

a/b = 3/2  

Cross Multiply

2a = 3b .......... Equation 1

a = 3b/2

If four more girls join the class, there will be the same number of boys and girls

Hence,

a: b + 4 = 3 : 3

a/b + 4 = 3/3

Cross Multiply

3a = 3(b + 4)

3a = 3b + 12 ........ Equation (2)

From Equation 1: a = 3b/2

Substitute 3b/2 for a in Equation 2 we have:

3a = 3b + 12 .........Equation 2

3(3b/2) = 3b + 12

9b/2 = 3b + 12

Cross Multiply

9b = 2(3b + 12)

9b= 6b + 24

9b - 6b = 24

3b = 24

b = 8

Substitute 8 for b in Equation 1

a = 3b/2

a = 3 × 8/2

a = 24/2

a = 12

Therefore, the number of boys in the class is 12
