15 The number of girls in both clubs is the same. Make the numerators the same. LCM of 7 and 1 is 7.
7x110x1 of the members in Computer Club =
1x75x7 of the members in Art Club
710of the members in Computer Club =
735 of the members in Art Club
Number of less boys in Computer Club than Art Club
= 28 u - 3 u
= 25 u
25 u = 125
1 u = 125 ÷ 25 = 5
Number of members in Art Club
= 35 u
= 35 x 5
= 175
