Answer 1

Answer:

B. There is 1 boy for every 6 girls in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio is 1 boy per 6 girls and we don't know how many students there are then B is the best answer

hope this helped :))

Answer 2

Answer:

B. There is one boy for every 6 girls in class.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a ratio, it compares two numbers. When you have a ratio 1:6 the colon  there can be read as "is to" or "for every".  

That means that ratio can be read as 1 is to 6 or "there is 1 for every 6."

In this case 1:6 represents the number of boys to the number of girls to class. This means that there is 1 boy for every 6 girls in class.

Hope
