Answer 1

Answer: There are 6 more girls than boys

Explanation:

To find how many more girls there are we need to find what one block equals to.

We use this equation to find it.

36 = ( 5 + 7 )x

36 = 12x

3 = x

or

x = 3 (same thing)

So each block represents 3 girls/boys

The girls have 2 more meaning there are 6 more girls than boys.

Answer 2

6 more girls than boys

Explanation:

5 out of 12 are boys (multiply both sides of equation by 3 because 3x12 = 36)

7 out of 12 are girls (multiply both sides of equation by 3 because 3x12 = 36)

so: 15 out of 36 are boys

so: 21 out of 36 are girls

21-15 = 6 more girls than boys
