Question

one out of every 4 children attending the art show is a girl. there are 21 boys. what is the total number of children at the art show?​

Answer 1

The total number of children at the art show is 28.

Given that 1 of every 4 children is a girl, this implies that the remainder are boys.

Then if there are 21 boys, let the number of children attending the show be represented by y so that;

`(3)/(4)` x y = 21

y = 28

As such, there are 7 girls to attend the art show.

Therefore, the total number of children at the art show is 28.
