Question

there are 45 students in a class. if 3/5 of them are boys find the number of girls
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2/5 are boys then 3/5 are girls

These added together equal 5/5 which is the total number in the class ( 45 in this example )

45 divided by 5 equals 9

3 fifths would be 3 x 9 = 27 girls

The other way is to let x = number of girls

multiply 45 ( total # students) by (3/5)

x = 45 (3/5)

x = 135/5 = 27 girls

3/5 of 45 = 27

So number of boys = 27

Therefore, number of girls = 45 - 27 = 18
