Answer: 150 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of boys be x
Since there were 200 more girls than boys, the number of girls will be: = x + 200
Since the ratio of boys to girls was 3:7, this can be solved further below:
3/7 = x/x+200
Cross multiply
(7 × x) = 3(x + 200)
7x = 3x + 600
7x - 3x = 600
4x = 600
x = 600/4
x = 150
The number of boys enrolled is 150
Number of Girls will be:
= X + 200
= 150 + 200
= 350
Check: Number of boys / Number of girls
= 150/350
= 3/7
= 3:7

x=7y
Some fractions that are equivalent to 2/3 are 4/6 and 6/9
to find equivalent fractions, you just have to reduce the fraction or multiply both the top and bottom numbers by the same number to increase the fraction.
2/3 is as reduced as it can be, though.
