15 The number of girls in both clubs is the same. Make the numerators the same. LCM of 3 and 1 is 3.
3x110x1 of the members in Art Club =
1x35x3 of the members in Computer Club
310of the members in Art Club =
315 of the members in Computer Club
Number of less boys in Art Club than Computer Club
= 12 u - 7 u
= 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Number of members in Computer Club
= 15 u
= 15 x 12
= 180
Answer(s): 180
