Answer:
Let 3x be the number of boys
Let 2x be the number of girls
3x + 2x = 24
5x = 24
x = 4.8
3(4.8) = 14.4 boys
2(4.8) = 9.6 girls
There can't be 24 students for a ratio of 3 boys and 2 girls, because there can't be 14.4 boys and 9.6 girls, it has to be an exact number, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense.
For example, you and I are both 1 person, we can't be half a person or 0.6 of a person, only 1.
The student that did more maths problems per minute is Diedra.
In order to determine which student did more maths problems per minute, the rate of each student has to be determined. Rate is the total questions solved divided by the time.
Rate = total questions / total time
Malcolm = 15 / 18 = 0.833 problems per minute
Diedra = 16/ 17 = 0.941 problems per minute

The shape that has only 1 pair of opposites sides that are parallel is a trapezoid.
50% on rides
1/3 = 0.33 = 33%
100% - (50% + 33%) = 100 - 83 = 17%.....there is 17% remaining, not 10%..so I do not agree.
