number of boys = ratio of boys x total strength / total ratio = 5 x 27/9 = 5 x 3 = 15 number of girls = ratio of girls x total strength / total ratio = 4 x 27/9 = 4 x 3 = 12 verification: 15 + 12 = 27
The ratio of 15 over 12 is 5:4.
If the ratio of girls to boys is 5:4, then out of the total of 108 students, 5/9 are girls and 4/9 are boys. Therefore, the number of girls is 108 x (5/9) = 60.

The ratio of 15 over 12 is 5:4.
Number of primes = 4 Number of composites = 5 Ratio of primes to composites = 4 : 5
Divide by 9 (4 + 5), then multiply by either 4 or 5 to get the first number. Subtract that number from the total to get the second number. Multiply the quotient from the first step by the other number (4 or 5) to check the second answer.
4/10 = 2/5 = 0.4
If the ratio of girls to boys is 5:4, then out of the total of 108 students, 5/9 are girls and 4/9 are boys. Therefore, the number of girls is 108 x (5/9) = 60.
Multiply both number by any non-zero number and you will get an equivalent ratio.
A percent is a number relative to 100. Therefore, we want the number 100 in the ratio. In order to do that, we need to multiply BOTH numbers in the ratio by a number so that the second number of the new ratio is equal to 100. The first number of the new ratio is the percent. For example: 4:5 = [4*20]:[5*20] = 80:100 = 80%

Yes because 4/5 is a fraction and only rational numbers can be expressed as fractionsYes. It's the ratio of 4 to 5 .
4/5 0.8
If the ratio is 5:4, and the number of pupils is 27, this means that there are 5 + 4 = 9 ninths to the whole. Therefore, 5/9 x 27 is equal to 15 and 4/9 x 27 is equal to 12. There are therefore 15 girls and 12 boys.
