Answer 2

The ratio between the boys and girls in the college is 12 : 13.

Given,

In a college, there are 5000 students, out of which 2400 are boys.

To Find,

The ratio between boys and girls.

Solution,

Before solving the question, let's understand the concept of ratio.

Ratio:- Essentially, the ratio indicates how much of one quantity is present in the other quantity based on a comparison between two quantities of the same units.

The ratio is denoted by ':' between the two quantities.

The ratio of two numbers can be written as a fraction.

Now, let's solve the question.

Let the number of girls be 'x.'

Total students = 5000

The number of boys = 2400.

To Find the number of girls,

We have to subtract the number of boys from the total students,

x = 5000 - 2400

x = 2600.

So, the number of girls in the college is 2600.

Now, let's find the ratio between boys and girls.

Boys : Girls = 2400 : 2600

on dividing the ratios, we get their simplest form,

Boys : Girls = 12 : 13.

The ratio between the boys and girls in the college is 12 : 13.
