Answer 1

Question

6. There are 50 students in a class. If 24 of them are boys, find the ratio of boys to girls.

ANSWER :

Total number of students in the class = 50

Number of boys in the class out of 50 = 24

So,

Number of girls in the class room will be

= Total number of students - Number of boys

= 50 - 24

= 26

Therefore, there are 26 number of girls in the class room.

Now,

To be found :-

Ratio of boys to girls

= $\frac{24}{26}$

= $\frac{12}{13}$

= 12:13

Hence,  

Ratio of boys to girls is 12:13

Answer 2

Answer:

Total number of students =50

Number of boys =24

Number of girls= total students -

number of boys

=50-24

=26

Ratio of boys: girls =24:26

=12:13
