There were 28000 people at a football game.
9/14 of the people were adult men, 1/7 were adult women, and the rest were children.
If 3/4 of the children were boys, how many girls (children) were there?
:
Find the number of children
c = 28000 - (28000) - (28000)
c = 28000 - 18000 - 4000
c = 6000 children
:
If 3/4 were boys, then 1/4 were girls
* 6000 = 1500 girls
