Question

There is 200 students.The ratio of girls to boys is 5 to 3. what is the percent of students are boys? 

Answer 1

There would be a ratio of of 3/5 boys to girls. 3/5 of 200 is 120
I feel like that's irrelevant because those numbers don't add up.
Take 1 unit so 1/8 then factor it into 200.
you get 25
25*3 is 75.
75 is 37.5% of 200

Answer 2

The percentage of male students is 37.5%

- There for every five girls there are three boys.

- That is eight students per.

- I took two hundred and divided it by eight to get twenty-five.

- I got twenty five, if you take twenty-five times three you get seventy-five & if you take twenty-five times five you get one hundred twenty-five.

- Add those two products and you'll have your two hundred.

- So, take seventy-five over two hundred to get thirty-seven and a half.

- Divide that by one hundred to get the ratio.

- It comes out to 37.5%
