Question

"Please Help" There were 320 students in an auditorium. 3/5 of them were boys. how many more boys than girls were there?

Answer 1

You can find the number of boys by multiplying 320 times 3/5.

Answer 2

multiply the amount of students by 3/5 in order to find out how many boys the 3/5'ths represent. then once found you can minus that from the original number of students (320).
i.e.
\[Class = 320\]
\[Boys = (3/5)\times320 = 192\]
\[Girls = Class - Boys\]
\[Girls = 320 - 192 = 108\]

Answer 3

Girls = 320 - 192 = 128
