The ratio of girls to boys in a certain school is 85. if the school has 221 students how many are boys?
To find the number of boys in the school, we first need to determine the total number of parts in the ratio, which is 85 (girls) + 1 (boys) = 86 parts. Then, we divide the total number of students by the total parts in the ratio: 221 students / 86 parts = 2.57 students per part. Since we can't have a fraction of a student, we round down to the nearest whole number, which means there are 2 boys in the school.
How many students in a class of 108 students are girls if the ratio of girls to boys is 5 to 4?
Well, isn't that a happy little math problem! If the ratio of girls to boys is 5 to 4, that means for every 5 girls, there are 4 boys. To find out how many girls in a class of 108 students, we first need to divide 108 by the total parts in the ratio (5+4=9), which is 12. Then, we multiply 108 by the girls' share (5/9) to find there are 60 girls in the class.
How do you find out the ratio of 70?
There's no such thing as the ratio of only one number. A ratio is a comparison of two numbers. The ratio of two numbers is their 'quotient' ... the number you get when you divide one number by the other one.
