Question

In a class 5/8 of pupils are boys.If 15 girls are in that class how many boys are there​

Answer 1

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5/8 are boys then

1 - 5/8 = girls

3/8 = girls

3/8 of the total are girls

Let x = total

3/8 ( x) = 15

8/3 * 3/8 * x = 15 * 8/3

x = 40

There are 40 total students

5/8 are boys

5/8 * 40

25 are boys
