Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) There are 240 boys and 260 girls

so the ratio will be 240:260

= 240 to 260 is the same as 24:26

=Simplify 24:26 to 12:13

= 12:13 is the Answer

b) Add up the girls and the boys and you will get 500 students

= 240:500 (Boys:Total number of students)

=240:500 is the same as 24:50

=Simplify 24:50 to 12:25

=12:25 is the Answer

Hope this helped!
