Let the number of boys be ( b ) and the number of girls be ( g ). Each boy has ( b - 1 ) brothers and ( g ) sisters, giving the equation ( b - 1 = g ). Each girl has ( b ) brothers and ( g - 1 ) sisters, leading to the equation ( b = 2(g - 1) ). Solving these equations, we find there are 4 boys and 3 girls in the family.
let brothers be x and sisters be y. 2x=y+1 x+1=y solving these we get x=2 and y=3
In the 1920s the average number of children per family were 3. During this time, Margaret Sanger became very vocal on birth control and by 1933, the number of children per family was down to 2.
We would need to know the number of children in the family to answer this question. For instance, the probability of having no girls in a family of two children would be 1/4 theoretically. In general it is 2-n where n is the number of children.
around five kids
Discrete. The number of brothers or sisters can only be integers (leaving aside half-brothers!).

Let the number of boys be ( b ) and the number of girls be ( g ). Each boy has ( b - 1 ) brothers and ( g ) sisters, giving the equation ( b - 1 = g ). Each girl has ( b ) brothers and ( g - 1 ) sisters, leading to the equation ( b = 2(g - 1) ). Solving these equations, we find there are 4 boys and 3 girls in the family.
This family has 4 girls and 3 boys. Here is how to get the answer: Assume the family has X girls and Y boys, according to the question, we can come up with 2 equations: X-1=Y, 2(Y-2)=X. Solve the equations, we get X=4, Y=3.
Some families have only one child or two at the most because either with one child they could not have more children or didn't want more children and many families feel two children is enough.
8 The answer is 9. If you are a boy, it would be 6 boys and 3 girls, but it you were a girl it would be 5 boys and 4 girls because you cannot be your own brother or sister. 10, the combination of 6 brothers and 4 sisters. Then each is guaranteed to have 5 brothers, 3 sisters. In the examples for 9 total, the girls in 6-3 would only have 2 sisters, and vice versa for the boys in 5-4. It seems 9 is the correct answer for the way the question is worded. If the question were worded "What is the least number of of children that would guarantee that each child has five brothers and three sisters ?" then 10 would be correct.
In 2010 Rihanna's brothers are 20 and 13. Rihanna has no sisters.
The ratio is 4:7.

Albrecht Dürer had a total of 18 siblings, although not all of them survived to adulthood. His family was large, comprising several brothers and sisters, but specific details about the exact number of each are not well-documented. Dürer was the third of 18 children born to his parents, Albrecht Dürer the Elder and Barbara Dürer.
The minimum possible number of people in the family is 6. This can be achieved by having one grandfather (who is also a father), one husband (who is also a father and a brother), one wife (who is also a mother and a sister), and their three children (two sons and one daughter). The two brothers and two sisters can be accounted for among the children, while the niece can be the daughter of one of the brothers.
