What is arithmetic ?

A branch of mathematics that deals usually with the nonnegative real numbers including sometimes the transfinite cardinals and with the application of the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to them

To make the new situation:

Suppose A classroom has 50 people.

The ratio of girls to boys is 2:3, so in other words, we need to find out how many boys and girls there are, and there are 2 girls for every three boys, So ,how many boys and girls are there?

The answer would be :

Let the two parts in which we divide 50 be 2x and 3x respectively

2x+3x=50

5x=50

x= [tex]\frac{50}{5}[/tex]

x=10

Here,

2x= 2×10=20

3x =3*10=30

20 girls and 30 boys.
