Question

There are 44 students in the class. 2/3 of the number of girls is equal to 1/4 of the number of boys. How many girls are there in the class?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 girls

32 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

let the boys be B and girls will be 44-B

given that

2/3 *(44-B) = 1/4 *(B)

now solve it

8(44-B)= 3B

352-8B = 3B

352=11B

B= 32

girls will be 44-B

= 12

Answer 2

Answer:

hlooooo dear

$let \: number \: of \: girls = x \\nu m ber \: of \: boys \: = y \\ \\ x + y = 44$

$\frac{2}{3} x = \frac{1}{4} y$

$x = \frac{3}{8} y$

$put \: the \: value \: of \: \: euation \: x \ + y = 44$

$\frac{3}{8} y + y = 44$

$\frac{3y + 8y}{8} = 44$

$\frac{11y}{8} = 44$

$y = 32$

$and \\ x = 12$

number of girls are 12 in a class
