Step-by-step explanation:
Arrange the numbers so that the number of girls in year 10 is the numerator, and the total number of girls is the denominator. (140/260) Simplify this by dividing both numbers by 20.
Hi there!
To solve this problem, we need to set up two equations and use the system of equations to solve.
Let x be the first number.
Let y be the second number.
(x + y) ÷ 2 = 34
x = 3y
Now, we can use substitution to solve.
(3y + y) ÷ 2 = 34
4y ÷ 2 = 34
2y = 34
y = 17
Now, we plug the value of y in the equation to solve for x.
x = 3*17
x = 51
Hope this helps!
