40% of the children are girls.
The ratio of adults to children is 2:3
How many of the children attending are boys?

Can someone plz help me with this

Answer 1

1000 children

Explanation:

Find the total units of adults and children = 2 + 3 = 5

5 units = 5000

1 unit = 5000 ÷ 5 = 1000

100% ÷ 5 units = 20% each unit

3 units = 20% x 3 = 60%

Since we all know that 60% of the people are children and 40% of the children are girls...

60 - 40 = 20%

20% = 1000
