Question

In a class , if 40% of students are girls, which are 24 in number , then the total number of students in that class are

Answer 1

Answer:

Let’s assume the 40 percent means exactly 40 percent, which means 16 of the students are girls.

But all we know about the other 24 members of the class is that they are “students.” We don’t know how old they are. We don’t know if they are even human beings.

Suppose it’s a dog training class, and the teacher considers the two dozen dogs to be students. (Except for the flea-ridden Schnauzer who can’t stop frantically scratching.)

Suppose the students include robots or aliens or alien-ape hybrids or robot-alien-parrot hybrids.

Even if they are all human, it’s clear that not all non-girls are boys. They could be women. They could be men. They could be children whose genetics or gender-identification or non-identification resists traditional gender classification.

Or suppose some or all of the 24 couldn’t be recognized as any gender simply for lack of information. Say, it’s Halloween and they’re in costume. Maybe the 24 are attending remotely, via computer. Maybe … it’s clearly getting late and my mind is straying into loony time … maybe the other 24 students are disembodied wired-up brains floating in big glass jars 20 years from now.
