Alfred Barrera · Answer 1

The Answer Would Be 14 Pupils. It Is Also Known As 2/5.

What You Do Is, Divide 35 By 5. You’re Supposed To Get 7. Then, 3/5 Would Equal 21 Because 7 • 3 = 21. So, You Subtract 35 - 21, To Get The Answer, 14. Also, 7 • 2 = 14, Which Is Also Known As 2/5.

What you have to do is divide 35 by 5 to find one fith. You can see that one fith of the class is 7 so 14 pupils in the class is boys.
