At a school
number of boys : number of girls = 11:8
There are 114 more boys than girls.
Work out the total number of students at the school.

197 students (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Step-by-step explanation:

first I divided 11 by 114 to find out how much girls there are to every one boy and my answer was 10.36 (rounded to the nearest 2 d.p).

next I times it by eight according to the ratio given, my answer was 83 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

finally, I just added 114 and 83 together to get the total number of students and my answer to that was 197 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

hope it helped

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
