Question

Of a group of students, 5/8 of them are boys. the girls are put into groups so that each group has 1/16 of the total number of students. how many groups of girls are there?

Answer 1

Because 5/8 of the group of students are boys, therefore
3/8 of the group are girls.

If the group of girls is subdivided into groups of 1/16, then the number of groups is
$n= \frac{(3/8)}{)1/16)} = \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{16}{1} =6$

Answer: 6
