If the opposite girl is n+46, then the first girl must be opposite #47, so there are 46 pairs of girls (1,47) - (46,92). There are 92 girls.

if 43rd girl is opposite ti 89th then number of girls between them is 89-43-1 or 45 ; So tolal number = 45*2 +2 or 92

Assuming there are 2n (an even number) girls in the entire circle, then if you add half the number of girls to 43 you will get 89 (which is "half way" around the circle). Remember, if the total number of girls is 2n, then half would be n.

89 = 43 + n
89 - 43 = n
46 = n (half the number of girls)

2n = 2(46) = 92

There are 92 girls in the circle.

89 - 43 = 46

46 * 2 = 92

There are 92 girls in the circle

in the adventure that they are opposite one yet another then to stumble on out what percentage are in between go:- 89 - 40 3 = 40 six So there are 40 six females round 1/2 the circle, to get what percentage there are go:- 40 six x 2 = ninety 2. So, there are ninety 2 females around the circle. see you later as they're frivolously spaced.

89-43=46, so there are 46*2=92 girls there.

You cant have that many girls standing so close together...the combined weight would create enormous gravitational pull and destroy the planet. (kidding)
