So if 11 are girls, how many are boys?

Express that number as a fraction of 30; which fraction of those quoted is this nearest to? [If you still can't see it then change the fractiona above to equivalent fractions with a denominator of 30]

Instead of
a) in a class of 30 pupils...
shouldn't the question start:
a) in a class of 30 pupils who identify only as girls or boys....
:D
