The school principal decided that she wanted every class to have an equal number of boys and girls in each first-grade classroom. There are 4 classrooms. There are 56 boys and 44 girls. How many total students are in each classroom? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Each classroom will have 14 boys because 56 boys divided into 4 classrooms equals 14 boys per classroom. Each classroom will have 11 girls because 44 girls divided into 4 classrooms equals 11 girls per classroom. In total, each classroom will have 25 students because 14 boys plus 11 girls equals 25 total students. So the final answer is 25.
