Question

2/5 of the children in a club are girls,if there are 24 boys,how many children are there altogether?how many more boys than girls are there

Answer 1

2/5 are girls, therefore 3/5 are boys

3/5 = 24
1/5 = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
2/5 = 8 x 2 = 16

Altogether = 16 + 24 = 40 

24  - 1 6 = 8

There are 40 children altogether
There are 8 more boys than girls.

Answer 2

8 More Boys

2/5 = 16/40
24 = 3/5

24 - 16 = 8

Therefore, There Are 8 More Boys Than Girls.
