It is already in its simplest ratio because 17 is a Prime number but if it were 7 boys to 21 girls then the ratio would be 1 to 3
Girls - 21 letters/minute Boys - 17 letters/minute
B/G = 4/3 so 3B = 4G B+G = 21 Multiply by 3: 3B+3G = 63 But 3B = 4G so 4G+3G = 63 ie 7G = 63 so that G = 9 So B+G=21 means B = 12 3 more boys so B' = 12+3 = 15 1 more girl so G' = 9+1 = 10 So new ratio = B'/G' = 15/10 = 3/2 or 3 to 2
21:17 in its lowest terms.
7 boys
12/21 or 4/7
The ratio of girls to boys is 21/14 = 3/2 = 1.5 . The ratio of boys to girls is 14/21 = 2/3 = 0.66 .
The ratio of girls to boys in Charlotte's class is 3:2. This is found by dividing the number of girls by the number of boys to get 21/14 = 3/2.
The ration of girls to boys is 21:6To simplify this divide both numbers by 3 = 7:2
Let's denote the number of boys as 5x and the number of girls as 7x, where x is a positive integer. Since there are 6 more girls than boys, we have the equation 7x = 5x + 6. Solving for x, we get x = 3. Therefore, the total number of students in the class is 5x + 7x = 12x = 12 * 3 = 36 students.
87
21 boys + 14 girls = 35 studentsThis also works for math and social studies classes.
Girls - 21 letters/minute Boys - 17 letters/minute
There are 21 boys. Boys = 30% Girls = 70% = 49 40/.7 = 70 70 - 49 = 21
B/G = 4/3 so 3B = 4G B+G = 21 Multiply by 3: 3B+3G = 63 But 3B = 4G so 4G+3G = 63 ie 7G = 63 so that G = 9 So B+G=21 means B = 12 3 more boys so B' = 12+3 = 15 1 more girl so G' = 9+1 = 10 So new ratio = B'/G' = 15/10 = 3/2 or 3 to 2
