So, there's 124 kids total. With 62 boys?

OpenStudy (scooby6363):

Divide the number of boys by 2 since there are TWICE as many boys as there are girls. This will give you the number of girls at the camp. Add the number of boys by the number of girls in the camp to get the total amount of children in the camp.

i think it's also rounding things

OpenStudy (scooby6363):

Sigh The answer is A, Bob got the question wrong initially as he either completed the actions in either B, C, or D. Both of them are the same thing. It cannot be B since there are already twice amount of boys then there are girls, that would just make it 4x as more boys as there are girls.
