Question

If a classroom contains 35 students, 2/5 of which are girls, then how many boys are in the class?

Answer 1

SOLUTION :  

Given :  

Total number of students in a classroom = 35  

Girls in the classroom = ⅖ of total students

Number of girls = ⅖ × 35 = 2× 7 = 14

Number of girls = 14

Number of boys = Total number of students in a classroom - Number of girls  

Number of boys = 35 - 14 = 21  

Number of boys = 21

Hence, the Number of boys in the class = 21.
