The answer to this question is D because the ratio is 3 boys to 8 girls. Therefore there should be 3 boys for every 8 girls. So if you divide 15 and 40 you would get your ratio 3:8.
Hey, me again! So, I'll be giving you the totals for EACH group.
For the first group, multiply 1/8 by 3 to get the answer;
3/8 lbs
Do the same for this group (and all of the others) so that the answers are:
Group 2 - 3/4lbs
Group 3 - 2/2 = 1lb
Group 4 - 5/8lb
Group 5 - 7/8
