Question

In a college, out of 1200 students, 400 are girls. Find the ratio of
a) Number of girls to total number of students.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1:3 is the ratio of no of girlsto total no of students.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given : Total students =1200

girls = 400

Number of girls

Ratio = Total Number of students

= 400 /2

1200/2

= 200 = 1 /3

600

Therefore,required ratio is 1:3

2nd method: total students =1200

girls =400

Number of girls

Ratio = Total Number of students

by the problem,

cancelling the zeroes (400/1200)= 4 /12

we get , 4 /12 = 1 /3

so the requried ratio is 1:3

Therefore, hence proved
