3/7

7+10+7 = 24 total students
14 are girls
so
14/24 = 7/12

suspect you mean 2/3 are girls
(14+x) /(24+x) = 2/3

42 + 3 x = 48 + 2x
x = 6 more girls

a. is actually 3 / 24 because if I recall the problem says what fraction of the students in the math club are boys from Mrs.Smith class.So won't it be Mrs.Smith boys to all of the class.
Answered by Damon
Rodger is right
Answered by Rodger
c. there was 14 girls to start with so wouldn't you subtract 14 from 23 and get 9.
Answered by Damon
I think you added 6 girls and get 20 out of 30
Answered by Damon
oh, I assumed that the 23 was a typo and it meant 2/3
