In the fifth grade at Lenape Elementary School, there are 4/7 as many girls as there are boys. There are 66 students in the fifth grade. How many students are girls?

Respuesta :

Answer:

24 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of boys is x then:

x + 4/7 x = 66

x = 66  / 1 4/7

x = 66 *  7/11

= 6 * 7

= 42.

So the number of  girls is 66 - 42

= 24.

The quantitative relation between two amounts shows the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other:

The number of girls students is 24.
