Answer:

24 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this using simultaneous equations.

You know the number of boys plus the number of girls is 52, so b + g = 52.

You also know the number of boys is 6/7 the number of girls, so b = 6/7g

Then you can substitute this into the first equation - 6/7g + g = 52, so 13/7g = 52.

Solving that equation, 52 / 13/7 = 28, so there are 28 girls.

You then work out the number of boys by doing 52- the number of girls, so 52- 28 = 24 boys

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions :)

Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/12 really is 1/4  (Divide top and bottom by 3) 3/3 = 1 and 12/3 = 4

1/5 + 1/4 = 4/20 + 5/20 = 9/20

There is something we don't know about this question. If you put a remark, I will come back and look at it.
