Question

A school has a total of 600 students, of which 360 are girls. Find the ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students.

• A. 5: 5
• B. 2: 5
• C. 5: 6
• D. 2: 6

Answer 1

The correct option is B

2: 5

Number of girls = 360
Number of boys = 600 – 360 = 240
The ratio of number of boys to the total number of students = $\frac{240}{600}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$ = 2:5
