Answer 1

13 / 25 were boys

14 / 25 were girls

Explanation:

Of the girls 10 said no and 4 said yes

10 + 4 = 14 so she asked a total of 14 girls

Of the boys 8 said yes and 5 said no

8 + 5 = 13 so she asked a total of 13 boys

she asked 14 girls and 13 boys

14 + 13 = 25 so she asked a total of 25 people

Out of the 25 people she asked 13 of them were boys

So 13 out of 25 people we boys

or 13 / 25

which means 14 out of 25 were girls

or 14 / 25
