there are twice as many boys in classas there are girls.are there more girls or boys in class?

there are 12 boys in class. how many girls are there?

well, is 2 times a number more than 1 times the number?

but 2 times the number of boys or girls?

it says, the boys are twice as many as the girls. Read the problem carefully.

the answer is 24 obvs

To determine whether there are more girls or boys in the class, we need to compare the number of boys to the number of girls.

Let's call the number of girls in the class "G". Given that there are twice as many boys as there are girls, we can express the number of boys as "2G" (twice the number of girls).

Now, we know that there are 12 boys in the class. So, we can set up an equation:

2G = 12

To solve for G (the number of girls), we can divide both sides of the equation by 2:

G = 12/2
G = 6

Therefore, there are 6 girls in the class.
