Adam puts 160 children into 5 groups.
There are 20 girls and some boys in each group.
- How many boys are there in each group?
- How many boys are there altogether?
- How many less boys than girls are there?
(a)
Number of children in each group
= 160 ÷ 5
= 32
Number of boys in each group
= 32 - 20
= 12
(b)
Total number of boys
= 5 x 12
= 60
(c)
Total number of girls
= 160 - 60
= 100
Number of less boys than girls
= 100 - 60
= 40
Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) 60; (c) 40
