The Ratio of boys to girls at a middle school is 3:2. If the school has 400 people how many will be boys?

2 answers:

5 0

You have to divide 400 by 5. That will equal 80. Since the ratio is 3:2 Just multiply 3 by 80 then 2 by 80! :-)

You can check it by simplifying it again.

240 people are boys
1.You have to find the total of boys and girls there are by adding 3 with 2. (5)
2. You have to divide 400 by 5. (80)
3. You have to multiply 80 by 3 to get the amount of boys there are in 400 people. (240)

The distance on the map between Yappy city and Quiet city is 23 cm.

jekas [21]

The actual distance between Yappy city and Quiet city when it is 23 cm in map is 9.2 miles.

What is scaling ?

It is the technique to resize drawing with comparing to actual size of object which uses proportion or ratio. For example, Mapping of earth, drawing prototype of automobiles.

It is given that :

The distance on the map between Yappy city and Quiet city is 23 cm

and,

5cm = 2 miles

now, for 1 cm on map it is equal to 2/5 miles of actual distance.

Therefore to find the actual distance of 23 cm in map we simply multiply 23 with 2/5 :

actual distance :

2/5 x 23 = 9.2 miles

Therefore, the actual distance between Yappy city and Quiet city is 9.2 miles.
