Answer:
If there were 7 children
diff between boys and girls was 1(ie 1 more boy than girls)
because 4 boys+3girls
=7 children
Step-by-step explanation:
If difference is 12,
we multiply
4 boys by 12=48boys...ANS
and
3 girls by 12=36 girls....ANS
so that 48 - 36=12
and ratio remains same at
4:3
ANSWER:
48 boys and 36 girls
