We can use trial or error method here...

If we take 4 table, 4*5 = 20 and 4*7 = 28. 20+28 = 48.
20 : 28 = 5 : 7

So, there are 20 boys and 28 girls in a school play and there are 8 girls more than boys.

If you look over tables and try it out, only 4 table works for the given ratio.

If a baby weighed 3 and 3/8 how many more pounds would it have to gain to reach 5 1/2 pounds
Volgvan
First, get common denominators
At the same time, turn these into mixed numbers
27/8 + x = 44/8
Subtract 27/8 from both sides
x = 2 1/8 pounds
Let’s x be how many more pounds the baby needs
