Question

For every three girls taking classes at a martial arts school, there are 4 boys who are taking classes. If there are 236 boys taking classes, predict the number of girls taking classes at the school

Answer 1

177 girls

Explanation:

We get 177 girls by multiplying 236 by 0.75. We do this because 236 divided by 4 is 59. 59 is what we would multiply 3 by. Alternitivly, we can multiply 236 by 0.75 because there would only be 3/4 of the total amount of girls.
