Word problems. 1. 2/3 of the students in a class are boys and the rest are 17 girls. i) How many boys are there in class?​

Answer 1

Answer:

19 boys are there in that class

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the total number of students be =X

No of boys = 2/3X

no of girls = X-2/3X =17

3/3X- 2X =17

1/3X =17

X =17 divided by 1/3

X =17*3

X =51

Total number of students =51

no of girls =17

no of boys =51-17

=34

there are 34 boys in the class
