44
Step-by-step explanation:
let boys be x and girls be y
x/y=5/6
x=5y/6....(1)
if 6 boys join the club that will be x+6
Therefore:
(x+6)/y=13/12
13y=12x+72
13y-12x=72
Recall x=5y/6
Therefore:
13y-12(5y/6)=72
13y-(2*5y)=72
13y-10y=72
3y=72
y=24 people
Therefore:
x=(5*24)/6
x=20 people
Therefore people in the club before are 20+24=44
Answer:
100 red bricks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say red bricks is equal to 5x
Gray bricks is equal to 2x
We have an equation
2x + 5x = 140
= 7x = 140
Divide through by 7 to get the value of x
X = 140/7
X = 20
Red bricks = 5(x)
= 5(20)
= 100
Gray bricks = 2(x)
= 2(20)
= 40
Therefore in conclusion the number of red bricks is 100.
I think it might be the last one. Hope it helps:)
