Question

If there are 4 boys and 2 girls in a family, what is the ratio of boys in the family to children in the family?

Answer 1

Answer

2/3

Explanation

Ratio is a fraction. It is found by dividing the favorable quantity with the total quantity available.

In the question, there are 4 boys and 2 girls.

The total number of children = 4+ 2

                                                  = 6

The ratio of boys to the number of children in the family is;

4/6 = 2/3

Answer 2

The ratio of boys to total children would be 4:6, which you could simplify since they are both divisible by 2, so you'd end up with 2:3. Of every 3 children, 2 are boys.
