Answers
So this is what the question is correct?
In school, 2/3 of the students are boys and there are 990 girls. How many boys are in school?
Here is my answer for this:
We know that since 2/3 are boys, we can safely assume that the rest is 1/3 right? Since boys = 2/3 and girls = 1/3, then we can also assume that 1/3 = 990 which means that to find out what is 2/3 of the students should mean just simple math.
Equation to answer:
990 + 990 = 2/3 of students = boys.
1980 = boys.
Bonus!!!:
There are _______ students in school.
Well we know that there are 1980 boys and 990 girls so we can do simple math and get the answer.
Equation to bonus:
1980 + 990 = # of students in school
2970 = # of students in school
That’s a lot of students in one school if you ask me...
Hope this answered your question!
Have a SmartCookieDough day!
bec. I'd there is 2/3 students are boys then 1/3 should be girls.
so it means that 990's double = boys
990×2= 1980
