Question

In a class of 35 students,the number of girls is two-fifth of the number of boys. Find the number of girls in the class

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys be X

Then the number of girls is 2/5X

A.T.P

Total number of students=35

i.e. X+2/5X=35

=>5X+2X/5=35

=>7X=175

=>X=25

Therefore X=25

number of girls 35-25=10

Ans. number of girls is 10.
