Question

How many students are in the class now?

Five-eighths of the students in a class are boys. After six girls join the class, the number of boys and girls in the class is the same. How many students are in the class now?

Answer 1

3/8 are girls.
3/8 + 6 girls = 5/8, therefore 2/8 = 6.

if 2/8 = 6
then 1/8 = 3
then 5/8 = 15 boys
den 10/8 = 15 boys +15 girls = total 30 in class
