Question

the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 5:6. There are 25 boys in the class. How many are girls?

Answer 1

Ratio = 5:6.
Let the common multiple be x.
Then ratio = 5x:6x.

Given 5x=25.

So, x=25/5.
x=5.

So the number of girls will be 6(5)=30.

Therefore, there are 30 girls in the class and the total number of students is 55.
