Of the 60 students in a school, 24 are currently studying chemistry. Exactly 16 of the girls in the school are not currently studying chemistry. The number of girls in the school is 33. How many boys are currently studying chemistry

7 boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students in the school = 60

Total number of girls in the school = 33

Total number of students currently studying chemistry = 24

Total number of girls not currently studying chemistry = 16

Question asked:

How many boys are currently studying chemistry ?

Solution:

Total number of girls in the school = 33

Total number of girls not currently studying chemistry = 16

Total number of girls currently studying chemistry = Total number of girls in the school - Total number of girls not currently studying chemistry

Total number of girls currently studying chemistry =  33 - 16 = 17                                                  

Now:-

Total number of boys and girls currently studying chemistry = 24

Total number girls currently studying chemistry = 17

Total number of boys currently studying chemistry = Total number of boys and girls currently studying chemistry - Total number girls currently studying chemistry

Total number of boys currently studying chemistry = 24 - 17 = 7

Therefore, 7 boys are currently studying chemistry.

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

on monday rodney ate 1/4th of the sandwich = 3/12

on tuesday he ate 1/3rd of the sandwich = 4/12

therefore in total he has eaten = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

thus we can say that he has eaten 7/12 of the sandwich on monday and tuesday alltogether.
