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
The ratio of 15 over 12 is 5:4.
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.
