DAY 393

At a certain high school, there are twice as many girl graduates as boy graduates. If 3/4 of the girl graduates and 5/6 of the boy graduates go on to college, what fraction of the schools graduates does this represent?

Answer:


7/9 ............. Let x = boy graduates and 2x = girl graduates ........... 3x = total number of graduates. 3/4(2x) + 5/6(x) = 7/3(x) = graduates who go on to college .......... 7/3(x)/3x = 7/9
