In a certain year, the number of girls who graduated from
City High School was twice the number of boys. If 3/4 of the
girls and 5/6 of the boys went to college immediately after
graduation, what fraction of the graduates that year went to
college immediately after graduation?
Answer / guest
Assume that number of boys graduated from City High School = B
Therefore, number of girls graduated from City High School =
2*B
It is given that 3/4 of the girls and 5/6 of the boys went
to college immediately after graduation.
Hence, total students went to college
= (3/4)(2*B) + (5/6)(B)
= B * (3/2 + 5/6)
= (7/3)B
Fraction of the graduates that year went to college
immediately after graduation
= [(7/3)B] / [3*B]
= 7/9
Therefore, the answer is 7/9
