Question

The number of girls and boys in a school is$525$ and $675$ respectively. What is the ratio of the boys and girls in the simplest form.

Answer 1

Given that, Number of girls $=525$

and Number of boys $=675$

So, The simplest form of the ratio of boys to girls$=\frac{675}{525}$
$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{27\times 25}{21\times 25} \\ =\frac{27}{21} \\ =\frac{9\times 3}{7\times 3} \\ =\frac{9}{7} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the ratio of the boys and girls in the simplest form is $\frac{9}{7}$
