Answer: 12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X and Y stand for the number of students in each respective class.

We know:

X/Y = 2/5, and

Y = X+24

We want to find the number of students, x, that when transferred from Y to X, will make the classes equal in size. We can express this as:

(Y-x)/(X+x) = 1

---

We can rearrange X/Y = 2/5 to:

X = 2Y/5

The use this value of X in the second equation:

Y = X+24

Y =2Y/5+24

5Y = 2Y + 120

3Y = 120

Y = 40

Since Y = X+24

40 = X + 24

X = 16

--

Now we want x, the number of students transferring from Class Y to Class X, to be a value such that X = Y:

(Y-x)=(X+x)

(40-x)=(16+x)

24 = 2x

x = 12

12 students must transfer to the more difficult, very early morning, class.

Which is bigger, 4/3 or 4/4
velikii [3]

Answer:

4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is just one of the ways you can do it

find the decimal or divide each fraction

so for the first one 4/3

4 divide by 3 is 1.33333

while 4 divide by 4 is 1

Compare

1.333333 and 1

Of course, 1.33333 is bigger than 1

so 4/3 is the correct answer

Hope this helps :)
