Question

Of a group of students, 5/8 of them are boys. the girls are put into groups so that each group has 1/16 of the total number of students. how many groups of girls are there?

Answer 1

Because 5/8 of the group of students are boys, therefore
3/8 of the group are girls.

If the group of girls is subdivided into groups of 1/16, then the number of groups is

`n= ((3/8))/()1/16)) = (3)/(8) * (16)/(1) =6`

Answer: 6
