Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we can simplify the ratio of boys to girls to
1
:
2
.
Then, to find out how many students each ratio represents, we add up
1
and
2
to get
3
(
1
+
2
=
3
).
By dividing
3
by the number of students, we can find how many students ONE ratio represents:
24
3
=
8
.
So ONE ratio is equal to
8
boys. Since our simplified ratio of boys to girls is
1
:
2
already, we do not have to do further multiplying - the number of boys is simply
8
.
For the girls, simply multiply
2
by
8
to get
16
.
Check:
8
boys
+
18
girls
=
24
students
.
The answer is 35/18 because you flip 3/7 and multiply it by 5/6

Answer:
12 and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 3 = 5
30 ÷ 5 = 6 ← value of 1 part of the ratio
2 parts = 2 × 6 = 12
3 parts = 3 × 6 = 18
The numbers are 12 and 18
Let's say both had an original amount of "a".
then Liam deposited 140, so it became
a + 140.
then Charlie added 5% of "a" to "a", well, 5% of anything is just (5/100)*anything, so 5% of "a" is just (5/100) *a or
0.05a.
then they checked their amounts and both were
equal, what the? let's check.
