Answer:
The answer will be 12 students. 12 students must transfer from Class Y to Class X so that both classes have equal number of students.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio is 2 : 5, we would multiply both number to 8 and get 16 : 40.
Now find the average of those two numbers: (16 + 40) / 2 which gets you 28. Now either subtract 16 from 28 or subtract 28 from 40 and you will get 12.
28 - 16 = 12 students
40 - 28 = 12 students.
