Given:
Number of students = 35
Two out of every five boys in the club are boys.
To find:
The number of students in the club that are boys.
Solution:
Two out of every five boys in the club are boys. It means, the ratio of boys to the total number of student is 2:5.
Let the number of boys be 2x and number of students be 5x.
According to the question,
Now, the number of boys is
Therefore, 14 students in the club are boys.
Answer:
Smaller Number = 10
Larger Number = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be "x" and the larger number be "y"
5 TIMES smaller is SUBTRACTED from TWICE larger, the result is 16, we can write:
2y - 5x = 16
and
Larger increased by 3 TIMES SMALLER, result is 63, so we can write:
y + 3x = 63
We can write this in terms of x, as:
y = 63 - 3x
Now we put this in equation 1 and solve for x first:
2y - 5x = 16
Now,
y = 63 - 3x
y = 63 - 3(10)
y = 63 - 30
y = 33
Smaller Number = 10
Larger Number = 33
