Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

6/5 = 48/x

we need to find x

cross multiplying

6x=240

x= 40

Answer 2

Answer:40 girls

Step-by-step explanation: boys : girls = 6 : 5

If we multiply 6 with 8 (6×8), we will get 48 (the number of boys in the classroom), so, we just need to multiply 5 with 8 too, to get the number of girls in the classroom.

5 × 8 = 40 girls

*48 : 40 Simplify it with 8 = 6 : 5
