Answer:

boys = 705

girls = 783

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find the number of boys and girls in the school

the answer can be determined using simultaneous equation

x = boys

y = girls

y - x = 78  equation 1

y + x  = 1488 equation 2

subtract equation 1 from 2

2x = 1410

x = 1410/2 = 705

Substitute for x in equation 1

y - 705 = 78

y = 705 + 78 = 783

irga5000 [103]
A)

since she washed 30 plates in 5 mins (7:30 to 7:35) the ratio was 5:30 or in simplest form 1min:6plates

This means she washes 6 plates a min and thus from 7:15 to 7:38 (23 mins) she washes:

b)

L - plates left
T- total plates
t - time(mins)

"L = T - 6x"
