Question

the ratio of boys to girls is 5:8. What is the fraction of girls?​

Answer 1

Answer: Here's your answer and please mark me as brainliest if it helped you ;)

Let the ratio=x

Then, Number of boys = 5x

Number of girls= 8x

Total students = 5x+8x = 13x

Fraction of boys = Number of boys÷Total students = 5x÷13x =5/13

Fraction of girls= Number of girls÷Total students = 7x÷13x =7/13
