Question

In the music class of 49 students the number of girls are 1 /6 times the number of boys. What will be the number of boys.

Answer 1

Answer:

boys =42 , girls =7

Step-by-step explanation:

no. of students =49

let the no. of boys be x and as given in the question let the no. of girls be 1/6x=x/6

now,

x + x/6 =49

(6x + x )/6=49

7x/6 =49

7x=49×6

7x=294

x=294/7=42

therefore no. of boys =x=42

and no. of girls =x/6=42/6=7
