Question

The ratio of the boys to girls is 4 : 2, if there are 16 boys, how may girls are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

If ratio boy to girls is 4 : 2 and number of boys is 16.

Let x be a common factor between the ratios

So, 4x = Number of boys

and

2x = Number of girls

As per data,

16 = 4x

x = 4

Now,

Number of girls = 2x

= 2* 4 = 8

So, there are 8 Girls.
