Answer:

[tex]Boys = 1 /4[/tex]

[tex]Total =112[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Girls= 3/4[/tex] ---  missing information

[tex]Boys = 28[/tex]

Solving (a): The fraction that are boys

We have:

[tex]Girls= 3/4[/tex]

This implies that

[tex]Boys = 1 - Girls[/tex]

[tex]Boys = 1 - 3/4[/tex]

[tex]Boys = 1 /4[/tex]

Solving (b): Students in the class

If 1/4 are boys, then:

[tex]Boys = \frac{1}{4} * Total[/tex]

We also have that: [tex]Boys = 28[/tex]

So:

[tex]28= \frac{1}{4} * Total[/tex]

[tex]28 * 4 = Total[/tex]

[tex]112= Total[/tex]

[tex]Total =112[/tex]
