Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b/g=3/4 so if there are 12 boys this becomes

12/g=3/4 multiply both sides by g

12=3g/4 multiply both sides by 4

48=3g divide each side by 3

16=g

So there are 16 girls in the class.

Answer 2

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys is written first so 3:4 the 3 stands for boy.

12 boys in class means that the 3 from 3:4 was multiplied 4 times so you do the same to other side. 4 times 4 is 16, therefore the answer is 16.
