Answer 1

Answer:
720 girls shoes

Explanation:
720/4 = 180
180 + 720 = 900

Answer 2

There would be 720 girl shoes

Explanation:

So we can make an equation

So we don’t k now how many boy shoes there are so that could be X

We know that girl shoes are 4 times the amount of boy’s shoes

So basically we multiply 4 and x whinch will get you 4x

So we know girl shoes are 4x

Boy shoes are x

Now to make the equation add them together and solve for x

4x+x=900

5x+900

x=180

Now That is only the value of X

So now we know that the amount of shoes boys have are 180

Now multply that by 4 once the girl’s Shoes are 4x and x is 180

180*4 is 720

So 720 girl shoes
