Answer 1

Answer:

hi

here

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest way to solve this is to assign a number of boys and girls, and make that number one that is easily worked with by both sets of numbers. We've got 5/6 and 1/8, so the simplest way get a number that will work with both 6 and 8 is to multiply them together. 6x8=48 so we will assume that there are 48 boys and 48 girls. So the actual number of boys living in the hostel is 5/6=x/48 x=40 so 40 boys live in a hostel, meaning that 8 do not. The total number of students is 48+48=96 so the ratio of boys not living in a hostel, to the total number of students is 8/96, which we then simplify to 1/12.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/8)+(5/6)=23/24

total students=24

12 boys 12 girls

5/6 honor students

1-5/6= non-honor students

1/6 = non-honor students

(1/6)*12=2 non-honor students

2/24=1/12
