Question

The ratio of girls to boys in a bicycling club was 2:3 they were 27 boys how many total members were there in the club

Answer 1

There were 18 girls because 27 divided by 3 is 9 so then you do 2 times 9 which is 18 :)

Answer 2

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 2girls:3boys

if there were 27 boys, we would have the following ratio:

2g    xg

--- = ---

3b     27b

To get from 3 to 27, multiply by 9.

Now, do the same for the numerator.

Now we know we have 18 girls!

We can add:

27 boys and 18 girls=

45 members!
