Fraction

  • Number of students in class = 63

  • Number of students who grows peas = 1/3 × 63

= 63/3

= 21 students

  • Number of students who grows carrots = 21
  • Number of students who grows beans = 21

Number of girls = 5/7 × 63

= 315/7

Number of girls = 45 students

Number of boys = 63 - 45 = 18 students

If the three groups have equal composition of boys and girls, then,

Number of boys and girls in each group is 6 and 15 respectively.
