Simple translation:

The diagram shows which class had how many students before all students from class C moved to class A and class B with unknown amounts of how many to which. After it. The ratio of B to A (B/A) is equal to 4/3. How many students moved to class B from class C?

#

I first calculated the total amount of students

#

then said there are no more left students in the C class

#

and multiplied the ratio with "k" on both

#

which would give me 4k+3k = 56

#

7k = 56, k = 8

#

I placed 8 to "k"

#

then found the latest number of how many students in each two class

#

it wants me to find How many moved to B

#

B was 23 at the first time but then became 32

#

32 - 23 = 9
