Question

The ratio of number of girls to that of boys is

5:3, then,

a) What percent of total students are girls?​

Answer 1

Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ratio of girls to boys is = 5 : 3

Let's Number of Girls = 5x

Number of Boys = 3x

then Total Number of students = 8x

The percentage of girls

= [( number of girls )(100) ]/( Total students )

= [( 5x )( 100 )]/( 8x )

Here x get cancelled

= ( 5 )( 25 )/2

= 125/2%

= 62.5%

Therefore, Girls% = 62.5%
