Assuming that any given student must be either a boy or a girl (that is, no student can be neither a boy nor a girl), then 17 is sufficient. With sixteen students, you could have 8 boys and 8 girls, so there wouldn't be nine of either; adding the seventeenth student will push one or the other group to nine.
14 boys are in the class
There are 18 girls and 6 boys in the class of 24 students
There are 8 boys and 12 girls and 8 students with glasses.
1380 girls.
27 are girls.
80 boys and 30 girls
18 boys 30 girls
14 boys are in the class
There are 18 girls and 6 boys in the class of 24 students
THIS IS NOT A ANSWER THIS IS JUST THE WORD PROBLEM! There are 340 students in Blueprint Middle School, 40% are boys. How many students are girls in Blueprint?
There are 8 boys and 12 girls and 8 students with glasses.
That would be a total of 335 students.
If the ratio of girls to boys is 5:4, then out of the total of 108 students, 5/9 are girls and 4/9 are boys. Therefore, the number of girls is 108 x (5/9) = 60.
All you do is divide 48 by 3. that gives you 16. that makes 32 girls and 16 boys
1380 girls.
24 boys, 16 girls, which equals 40 students.
