The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 5:3. There are 32 students in the class. How many students are boys?

5x+3x=8x

8x = 32

x=32/8 = 4

boys are 4 x 5 = 20

girls are 4 x 3 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the ratios together: 5 + 3 = 8

Divide total students by 8:

32 / 8 = 4

Multiply each ratio by 4 to find the number of each:

Boys = 4 x 5 = 20

Girls = 3 x 4 = 12

There are 20 boys.

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.

step-by-step explanation:

you could deduce the conclusion directly using the facts pertaining to the specific situation.
