Question

A group of preschoolers has 2 boys and 72 girls. What is the ratio of boys to all children?​

Answer 1

As per data given in the question,

We have to determine the ratio boys to all children if a group of preschoolers has 2 boys and 72 girls.

For determining the ratio, we need to first calculate the total number of children.

As total number of children will be = 2+72 = 74

So, required ratio will be

$\frac{boys}{children} = \frac{2}{74} = \frac{1}{37}$

Hence, the required ratio of boys to the total children will be 1 : 37.
