Question

The ratio of students with blond
hair to students with brown or
black hair is 1:2. If there are
212 students with brown or black
hair, how many students have
blond hair?

Answer 1

Answer: 106 students

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 1:2 ratio, we can see that there are 2x the amount of students with brown/black hair compared to students with blonde hair.

So taking 212 students, we can divide the number by half to get 106 students.

$\frac{212}{2} = 106$
