Answer 2

✬ Ratio = 1 : 4 and 1 : 3 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Total number of students in class is 56.
• Number of girls in class is 14.

To Find:

• Ratio between Girls to total students and girls to boys .

Solution: Let the number of boys in class be x. Therefore,

➟ Total students = Boys + Girls

➟ 56 = x + 14

➟ 56 – 14 = x

➟ 42 = x

So, there are 42 boys in the class.

[ Now, lets find the ratio ]

➼ Girls to total students

➼ Ratio = 14/56

➼ 1/4 or 1 : 4

➼ Girls to boys

➼ Ratio = 14/42

➼ 1/3 or 1 : 3

Hence, Ratio of girls to total students is 1 : 4 and to girls to boys is 1 : 3.
