Question

there are 'b' boys and 'g' girls in a class find the ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students in the class

Answer 1

Ratio = b:bg
because there are b boys and g girls so total students is equal to b×g =bg

Answer 2

Answer:

$b:(b+g)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are b boys in a class

           There g girls in a class

To Find : the ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students in the class

Solution :

Since there are b boys and g girls in a class

So, total no. of students in a class = b +g

Thus the ratio of boys to the total no. of students = b : (b+g)

Hence the ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students in the class $b:(b+g)$
