Question

In a class, there are 30 boys and 60 girls. What is the ratio of boys to the total number of students in the class?

• A. 1:2
• B. 2:1
• C. 1:3
• D. 3:1

Answer 1

The correct option is C

1:3

The number of boys in the class is 30 and number of girls in the class is 60.

$\therefore$ Total number of students is equal to 30 + 60 = 90.

Ratio of number of boys to the total number of students is equal to $\frac{30}{90}=\frac{30÷30}{90÷30}=\frac{1}{3}=1:3$
