Question

The third-grade students go on a field trip. of the 321 student they are five more girls than boys.how many girls are there how many boys are there

Answer 1

There are 158 boys and 163 girls

Answer 2

This is a trial problem where you have to guess and check.

An easy way is to split 321 the closest to a half which can be 161 or 160

If we add 5 to one one (166) is it 5 more than the other? (321 - 166 = 155) So, no.

Let's make the number 163. Is it 5 more than the other? (321 - 163 = 158)

They are 5 away from each other which means we can use 163 for the amount of girls

There are 163 girls
