Answer 2

Answer:

here is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

let, number of boys be x.

number of girls be y.

ratio of boys and girls is 2:1

therefore x: y= 2:1

x/y = 2/1

x= 2y. -----------(1).

by given condition,

number of boys= 26 + number of girls.

2y = 26 + y

y = 26. {put this in equation (1) }.

x = 2y

= 2 × 26

x = 52.

number of girls is 26.

number of boys is 52.
