Well, if there are 84 boys, how many of them must have been girls? ^.^

B

I mean C

anonymous · Answer

so the no of girls are 
146-84 =62

84/62

simplify 
42:31

not really clear to me, why don't you give me the answer and not the letter-choice :)

anonymous · Answer

Subtract 84 from 146 and then put that with the boys. So, 84:(146-84)
