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
5:9, dumb question!
the trick for working ratio and proportions out is to,eg, say if there 5 girls in a class and the ratio of how many boys was 5:1 there will be 25 boys because you simply have to do 5x5=25 then simply times it by one .i think
Ex.) The ratio of boys to girls in the class was 7:5 (meaning there are 7 boys and 5 girls. If it was girls to boys it would be 5:7). Or you could write it as showed below: 7 to 5 7/5(as a fraction)
its 5 to 8 or 5/8 or 5:8
A ratio of 5:5 is equivalent to 1:1.
If there are 125 boys and 25 girls, then the ratio of boys to girls would be 5:1.
Of the total 15 people 5 are boys and 10 are girls Boys are 5/15 = 1/3 Girls are 10/15 = 2/3 Ratio of boys to girls is 1 to 2
5 girls to 1 boy
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
Since the ratio of boys to girls is 5 to 8, the total ratio parts is 5 + 8 = 13. To find how many boys are in the class, divide the total number of girls (40) by the total parts of the ratio (13), then multiply by the number of boys parts (5). Thus, there are 15 boys in the class.
Yes he had 6 5 boys 1 girl
Expressed as a ratio in its simplest form, 10 boys to 25 girls are in the ratio 2:5.

Using the ratio provided, since the ratio of girls to boys is 7 to 5, the total ratio can be calculated as 7 + 5 = 12. Since there are 275 boys, the number of girls can be calculated as (7/12) * (275) = 159.375, which rounds to 159 girls.

A ratio is a part OS something over the whole. (Example: there are 20 students and 8 are boys. What is the ratio of boys in the class? Answer: 2/5)
