Adam puts 180 children into 2 groups.
There are 50 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
= 180 ÷ 2
= 90
Number of boys in each group
= 90 - 50
= 40
(b)
Total number of boys
= 2 x 40
= 80
(c)
Total number of girls
= 180 - 80
= 100
Number of less boys than girls
= 100 - 80
= 20
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 80; (c) 20
