Question

In a class of 48 students, the number of boys is 3/5 of the number of girls. Find the number of girls in the class.

Answer 1

Answer:

47.6

3/5+x=48

x=48-3/5

x=240-3/5

x=47.6

Answer 2

Let the number of boys be x.

number of girls=53x

Total=48

So,

We have,

x+53x=4855x+3x=488x=48×5x=848×5

x=30

Then,

We get the  number of boys is 30.
