Question

There are $20$ girls and $15$ boys in a class.

(a) What is the ratio of number of girls to the number of boys $?$

Answer 1

Determine the ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys:

Given that,

Number of girls $=20$ girls

Number of boys $=15$ boys

Total number of students $=20+15$

Total number of students $=35$

Ratio of number of girls to the number of boys $=\frac{20}{15}$

Ratio of number of girls to the number of boys $=\frac{4}{3}$

Thus, ratio of number of girls to the number of boys is $\frac{4}{3}$.
