How to do?
6 Kindness : 3B, 3G, total 36
6 Love : 2G, 4B, total 38
Notice that both classes have 3 B and 2 G in common.
The only thing that is different is that 6 Kindness has 1 more G and 6 Love has 1 more B.
Since there are 2 more students in 6 Love than 6 Kindness,
this tells you that 1 B is 2 more than 1 G
As there are 4 B in 6 Love, we can take away 4 sets of 2 students. Then 4B and 2G becomes 6G.
So 38 - 4 x 2 = 38 - 8 = 30
Then since 30 = 6G,
1G = 30 ÷ 6 = 5
We know that there are actually only 2G in 6 Love .
So 5 x 2 = 10
There are 10 girls in 6 Love
It ties to what the school teacher is providing. But just out of curiosity:
Can we assume that the ratios are working on the same units?
As some ratios could be 2:4 instead of 1:2
