Answer 2

Given:

25 children went out for a picnic. 2/5 of the children were boys. 8 more boys joined the picnic.

To find:

The total number of boys that were at the picnic.

Solution:

The total number of boys that were at the picnic is 18.

To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:

As given, we have,

Total number of children that went out for a picnic

$= 25$

Out of 25, the fraction of children that were boys

$= \frac{2}{5}$

So,

The number of boys that went out for a picnic

$= \frac{2}{5} \times total \: number \: of \: boys$

$= \frac{2}{5} \times 25$

$= 2 \times 5 = 10$

Now,

8 more boys joined the picnic

So,

The total number of boys that were at the picnic

$= 10 + 8$

$= 18$

Hence, there were 18 boys at the picnic.
