if the ratio of boys and girls of a school is 4 ratio 5 and there is a increment of boys by 30% and increasement in girls by 40% find the new ratio of boys to girls
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There is an important difference between the way counts are viewed in ratio to that in fractions.
The ratio of boys : girls → 4 : 5
so you have 4 boys and 5 girls making the whole count
4+ 5 = 9
in its simplest form.
So to change the ratio proportion into fraction proportion we have:
boys → 4 /9 of the whole.
girls → 5/ 9 of the whole.
It is given that the whole is 3321 therefore the count of boys is:
4 /9 × 3321 = 1476
Answer:
given, ratio of boys to girls = 4:5
let ratio factor be x
number of boys = 4x
number of girls = 5x
30% increase in boys = 30/100 * 4x
= 3/5 * 2x
= 6x/5
40% increase in girls = 40/100 * 5x
= 10x
therefore new ratio of boys to girls = 6x/5 : 10x
= 6x:50x
= 6:50
= 3:25
