The ratio of boys to girls is 5:1. This means for every 5 boys, there is 1 girl. If you were to express this as a fraction, it would be 5/1.
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!
To find the overall ratio of boys to girls in both teams, we first need to determine the number of boys and girls in each team based on their ratios. For Team A (ratio of boys to girls is 2:1), let’s assume there are 21 boys and 10 girls, giving a total of 31 students. For Team B (ratio of boys to girls is 4:1), let’s assume there are 4 boys and 1 girl, giving a total of 5 students. However, the actual numbers may vary, but the overall ratio of boys to girls will depend on the actual numbers divided into the teams. Since you mentioned the ratios but not the total students, we can assert that the ratios within each team will affect the overall ratio when combined.
Let the number of girls be ( g ). According to the ratio, the number of boys would be ( 4g ) (since the ratio of boys to girls is 4:1). Given that there are 5 more boys than girls, we can set up the equation ( 4g = g + 5 ). Solving this gives ( 3g = 5 ), so ( g = \frac{5}{3} ), which isn't a whole number, indicating an error in the given ratio. Therefore, we revise the ratio to 5:4 (boys to girls), leading to ( b = g + 5 ). Solving gives ( g = 5 ) and ( b = 10 ), leading to a total of ( 15 ) kids in the class.
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
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).
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.

Let the number of girls be ( g ). According to the ratio, the number of boys would be ( 4g ) (since the ratio of boys to girls is 4:1). Given that there are 5 more boys than girls, we can set up the equation ( 4g = g + 5 ). Solving this gives ( 3g = 5 ), so ( g = \frac{5}{3} ), which isn't a whole number, indicating an error in the given ratio. Therefore, we revise the ratio to 5:4 (boys to girls), leading to ( b = g + 5 ). Solving gives ( g = 5 ) and ( b = 10 ), leading to a total of ( 15 ) kids in the class.
