Question

The ratio of boys to girls in the 8th grade is 5:6. If there are 75 boys in the 8th grade, how many are girls?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 15 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:- Ratio of boys to girls = 5:3

And, the number of boys = 75

let the girls be 5x and boys be 3x

so, 5 × 75 { given }

x = 75/5 = 15

6x= 6 × 15 = 90

6x/6 = 90/6 = 15
