Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2/7th of Eva's grandchildren live in one location, we know that 5/7th (the remaining portion of Eva's grandchildren) must live in the other location

Wales + Australia = all of the kids (100% = 1/1 (which is equal to 7/7) )

Wales + Australia = 7/7ths

{x is the total number of kids}

Australia = 5/7ths

15 =
(5)/(7)x {multiply both sides by 7 to get rid of fraction}

105 = 5x {divide both sides to find 1x}

21 = x

check:

2/7th of 21 = 6

5/7th of 21 = 15 {which we know}

6 + 15 = 21

21 = 21

(TRUE)

So, Eva has 21 grandchildren

hope this helps!!

Answer:

21 grandchildren

Step-by-step explanation:

2/7ths + 5/7th = all

5/7ths = 15 <- divide both sides by 3 to get 1/7th

1/7th = 3 (multiply both sides by 7 to get "1")

7/7ths = 21

so, eva has 21 grandchildren
