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.
What angle is made by the hands of the clock at four o'clock?
120 degrees is the angle made by the hands of a clock at 4 o clock. To get this answer, you could divide the clock into equal parts (12), and find the ratio of the time in terms of parts to the total number of parts of the clock (which would be 4/12 in this case). Then, you cross multiply the ratio you got, to the ratio of the unknown degrees to the total number of degrees in a circle (x/360). (4 * 360 = 12x). The answer should be 120 degrees.
If there is a 3 to 7 ratio of boys to girls how many boys are there?
If the ratio of boys to girls is 3:7, this means that for every 3 boys, there are 7 girls. To find out how many boys there are, you would need to divide the total number of children by the sum of the parts in the ratio (3 + 7 = 10) and then multiply that result by the number of boys' parts in the ratio (3). So, if there are 30 children in total, there would be 9 boys (30 divided by 10, times 3).
How can you find the total number in a whole given the percent and the number of parts?
====== Answer 1: ----------- proportion... A portion of the total is to its percentage of the total as the total is to 100%.
