A 5 to 3 ratio means that for every 5 parts of one quantity, there are 3 parts of another quantity. To find how many parts there are in total, you add the two parts together: 5 + 3 = 8 parts. To find the value of each part, you divide the total value (120,000) by the total number of parts (8): 120,000 / 8 = 15,000. Therefore, in a 5 to 3 ratio to get 120,000, each part would be equal to 15,000.
100 boys. Ratio boys to girls is 2:3 ⇒ 2 parts are boys, 3 parts are girls. So there are 2 + 3 = 5 parts in all. 250 people ÷ 5 parts = 50 people per part Boys: 2 parts x 50 people per part = 100 boys Girls: 3 parts x 50 people per part = 150 girls
Divide it by 3, giving 73.
One third each.
No they are both the same: 3/9 = 1/3 ( divide both parts by 3) as 4/12 = 1/3 (divide both parts by 4)
