Answer 2

Given:

Riya's class consists of 9 boys. There are 24 girls in her class.

To find:

The ratio of the number of girls in the class to the number of students.

Solution:

The ratio of the number of girls in the class to the number of students is 8:11.

To answer this question, we will follow the following steps:

As given, we have,

The number of girls in Riya's class = 24

The number of boys in Riya's class = 9

So,

The total number of students in Riya's class

= number of girls + number of boys

$= 24 + 9$

$= 33$

Thus,

The ratio of the number of girls to the total number of students in Riya's class

$= \frac{24}{33}$

$= \frac{8}{11}$ = 8:11

Hence, the ratio of the number of girls to the total number of students is 8:11.
