Given:
Number of students = 35
Two out of every five boys in the club are boys.
To find:
The number of students in the club that are boys.
Solution:
Two out of every five boys in the club are boys. It means, the ratio of boys to the total number of student is 2:5.
Let the number of boys be 2x and number of students be 5x.
According to the question,
[tex]5x=35[/tex]
[tex]x=7[/tex]
Now, the number of boys is
[tex]2x=2(7)[/tex]
[tex]2x=14[/tex]
Therefore, 14 students in the club are boys.
