Answer: 320 boys
Step-by-step explanation: you would first take the total number (720) and divide it by the total number shown in the ratio (5+4=9)
720/9= 80
You would then take 80 and multiply it by 4 because that is the number representing the boys
80*4= 320
Multiply straight across
5/1 * 3/4 = 15/4
now change it into a mixed number
3 3/4
Answer:
9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
2 2/5 - 1 1/2
Get a common denominator of 10
2 2/5 *2/2 = 2 4/10
1 1/2 *5/5 = 1 5/10
2 4/10 - 1 5/10
Borrow from the 2 as 10/10
1 + 10/10 +4/10 - 1 5/10
1 14/10 - 1 5/10
9/10
I think the answer will be B. Hope it help!
