The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 5:3. If there are 22 more boys than girls, work outhor many girls there are.

Girls =33

Boys =55

Total =88

Step-by-step explanation:

Take girls to be x

And boys x+22

5:3

5+3=8

Fraction of girls is ⅜

And boys is ⅝

⅝-⅜=²/8

²/8=22

5/8=?

5/8×22÷2/8=55

²/8=22

3/88=

⅜×22÷²/8=33

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
