Sagot :
so b=boys
g=girls
g=1/2b
you woluld subtract 1 because not including the btother counting
b-1 brother=g
b-1=g
g-1=1/2b
subsitute
b-1-1=1/2b
add like terms
b-2=1/2b
mutiply both sides by 2
2b-4=b
add 4 to both sides
2b=b+4
subtract b
b=4
2 boys
b-1=g
4-1=g=3
4 boys,

makes sense so if they are: bob, joe, sam, and bill, then girls are sally, jill, and may then
bob has 3 brothers: joe sam and bill this equals number of sisters
may has sisters 1/2 of brothers, 2 sisters and 4 brothers 2 is 1/2 of 4
answer is 3 girls

g=girls
