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
If the boy to girl ratio in the class is 3:5, this means that for every 3 boys, there are 5 girls. To find the number of boys in the class, you need to divide the total number of students by the total parts of the ratio (3+5=8) to get the value of each part. Then multiply this value by the number of parts representing boys (3) to find the number of boys. Therefore, in a class of 24 students, there would be 9 boys (24/8=3, 3x3=9).
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)
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
The ratio of girls to boys in this scenario is 5:1. This is determined by dividing the number of girls by the number of boys, which gives us 15 girls divided by 3 boys, resulting in a ratio of 5 girls to 1 boy.
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

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.
5:9, dumb question!
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)
