Question

The photography club has 28 members. There are 12 boys in the club
What is the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of boys be x and girls be y.

Number of boys=12

∴x=12

Total number of boys and girls in the club=28

∴Number of members=number of boys+number of girls

 28=x+y

 28=12+y

 y=28-12

 y=16

Thus number of girls is 16.

∴Ratio of boys to girls in simplest form= x:y

12:16    [Divide the fraction by a common number as in this case 4]

3:4
