Question

In a school, the number of boys who play cricket is 3 times as
much as the number of boys who play tennis. If 12 boys, who
play cricket, play tennis instead, the number of boys who play
each of these sports would be the same. Find the number of boys
who play tennis.

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boys who played cricket=12

ie, it is the 3 times of boys who played tennis

then,

Number of boys who played tennis =12÷3 =4

therefore,

Total number of boys=Number of boys who played cricket +Number of boys who played tennis

=12+4=16
