Adam puts 130 children into 2 groups.
There are 40 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
= 130 ÷ 2
= 65
Number of boys in each group
= 65 - 40
= 25
(b)
Total number of boys
= 2 x 25
= 50
(c)
Total number of girls
= 130 - 50
= 80
Number of less boys than girls
= 80 - 50
= 30
Answer(s): (a) 25; (b) 50; (c) 30
