Answers ASAP please!!

Answer 1

There are 28 right handed students in class

Solution:

Given that, there are 32 students in a class

The ratio of left-handed students to right- handed students is 1 : 7

Let the number of left handed students be 1x

Let the number of right handed students be 7x

To find: Number of right handed students in school

Total number of students = 32

number of left handed students + number of right handed students = 32

1x + 7x = 32

8x = 32

x = 4

number of right handed students = 7x = 7(4) = 28

There there are 28 right handed students in class
