There are 14 girls and 21 boys in Mrs. Andrews’s gym class. To play a certain game, the students must form teams. Each team must have the same number of boys and girls. What is the greatest number of teams Mrs. Andrews can make if every student is on a team?

7 teams of five with 2 girls and 3 boys

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.

answer: the answer is 100 x 12,500, which is 1,250,000.

step-by-step explanation: emily solved for a part when she should have solved for the whole.  

875,000 should be the numerator of the equivalent ratio.  

70 x 12,500 is 875,000.
