Add the 3 ratio portions together: 1 + 4 + 7 = 12
Divide total length by 12:
84/12 = 7
Multiply each ratio portion by 7:
1 x 7 = 7
4 x 7 = 28
7 x 7 = 49
The longest piece is 49 cm

Answer:
45 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
- Remark
- There are only 2 choices for gender. So if the class is 60% girls, the there must be 100 - 60 = 40% for the boys.
- But we are told that the boys are 30 in number.
- Let x = the total number of students.
Solution
- 40/100 * x = 30 Change the % to a decimal
- 0.4 x = 30 Divide both sides by 0.4
- 0.4 x / 0.4 = 30 / 0.4 Do the division
- x = 30/0.4
- x = 75 students in total
Formula
Total of Boys and Girls = Number of boys + number of girls.
Givens
- Total = 75
- Number of boys = 30
Solution II
- 75 = x + 30 Subtract 30 from each side
- 75 - 30 = x +30 - 30
- 45 = x
- There are 45 girls in the class.
