Question

Please help im stuck

Answer 1

Answer: 120

Explanation:

`(1)/(4)g=16` because one fourth of the total girls is 16

`(1)/(8)b=7` because one eighth of the total boys is 7

Solve for g and b;

`(1)/(4)g=16`

Multiply by the reciprocal of one fourth which is four over one or four.

`4*(1)/(4)g=16*4\\ g=64`

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

`(1)/(8)b=7`

Do the same.

`8*(1)/(8)b=7*8`

`b=56`

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Add both numbers.

64+56=120 students.
