Adam puts 170 children into 2 groups.
There are 70 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
= 170 ÷ 2
= 85
Number of boys in each group
= 85 - 70
= 15
(b)
Total number of boys
= 2 x 15
= 30
(c)
Total number of girls
= 170 - 30
= 140
Number of less boys than girls
= 140 - 30
= 110
Answer(s): (a) 15; (b) 30; (c) 110
