There are more boys than girls. The red chips are girls are the boy are the yellow chips. If more yellow chips were pulled out then there are more boys. 11 + 9 = 2. 10 + 9 = 19 + 1 = 20. The fraction of how many boys there are would be 11/21 and the fraction for girls would be 9/21. Also 11 x 9 = 99. There would be 99 people if you times the number of girls and boys. But it's best to add because it would be in the smaller form if you were to times it.
