Answer:
The Second school has a higher ratio of girls.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Ratio of girls to boys in First school = 5 : 8
Ratio of girls to boys in Second school = 7 : 10
We need to find the school with the higher ratio of girls.
1) First School
Total Ratio = 5 + 8 = 13
Ratio of girls = 5 / 13
2) Second School
Total Ratio = 7 + 10 = 17
Ratio of girls = 7 / 17
To find which school has the higher ratio, We need to ensure that both numbers have the same LCM so that they can be compared.
1) 5 * 17 / 13 * 17
85 / 221
2) 7 * 13 / 17 * 13
91 / 221
The second school has a higher ratio of girls compared to the first school.
