Question

80 girls and boys are in a ratio of 6 girls to 2 boys how many girls are going ?

Answer 1

Total boys and girls = 80.

Ratio of girls and boys = 6 : 2

Let the number of girls be 6x and boys be 2x.

6x + 2x = 80. [ ATP ]

8X = 80.

x = 80/8.

x = 10.

Number of girls = 6x = 6 × 10 = 60.

Number of girls = 2x = 2 × 10 = 20.

So, 20 girls are going.
