The average of 21 numbers is 30. The largest number is 50. If we remove the largest number, then the average of the remaining numbers will be:

Answer: 29

Explanation: To find the average of the remaining numbers after removing the largest one: Find the sum of all numbers (21 numbers) = 30 * 21 = 630. Subtract the value of the largest number (50) from the sum: 630 - 50 = 580. Divide the adjusted sum by the new number of numbers (21 - 1 = 20): 580 / 20 = 29. So, the average of the remaining numbers is 29.

Answer: 10

Explanation: To find out how many more boys there are than girls in the class: 1. Determine the ratio of boys to girls: 7 boys for every 5 girls. 2. Calculate the total number of parts in the ratio: 7+5=12. 3. Divide the total number of students by the total parts in the ratio to find the value of each part: 60/12 = 5. 4. Multiply the value of each part by the number of boys and girls to find their respective numbers: Boys: 7×5=35, Girls: 5×5=25. 5. Subtract the number of girls from the number of boys to find how many more boys there are: 35−25=10. So, there are 10 more boys than girls in the class.
