i think A am i right

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

nope it's not A. 3 means the number of boys. 5 means the total of children because It's sayin 3 out of 5 are boys.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D?

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

this is a tricky question but I do think it's D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok its right but i failed for other questions

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

15+10= 25 15 are boys so 15/25 and then 15/25= 3/5.

OpenStudy (timaashorty):
