________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is:  "2: 5 " ;  or, write as:  " 2/5 ".
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given:  The ratio of boys to girls is:  " 3:2 " .  

Problem:  Find the ratio of "girls" to "all students:
________________________________________________________
Note:    This ratio of "boys to girls", which is " 3 : 2 " ; 
________________________________________________________
    →  can be expressed as " 3x: 2x"  ;  

in which the total number of students is:  " 3x + 2x " = 5x " .

   → The total number of students is represented as:  " 5x " .  
________________________________________________________
→  The ratio of "girls to boys" is:  "2x : 3x" .

→  {that is;  the "inverse" of the ratio of "boys to girls"} ;  
→  {that is;  the "inverse" of  " 3x: 2x" } ;  →  which is:  " 2x : 3x " .
________________________________________________________ 

The ratio of "girls" to "all students" is:  "2x : 5x "  ;  or " 2x/5x " ; 
                                             → Both "x" values cancel ;  {since: " x/x = 1 "} ; 
_________________________________________________________
       →  and we have the answer:  " 2 :5 " ;  or, write as:  " 2/5 " . 
_________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is:  " 2 :5 " ;  or, write as:  " 2/5 ".

What is 2 times 2/6?
Aloiza [94]

Hi there!


I can see why you've posted a question like this here - For adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing fractions by whole numbers can be difficult to come out with a precise answer, so let me make it look easier for you!


So, the steps are:


Smush the 2 (whole number) and the 2 (the numerator of the fraction) together on top so its (2)(2) over 6. I can show you what I mean, if you'd like.


\frac{(2)(2)}{6} This is what it should look like.


Now, what is 2 times 2? You can use a calculator for this part.


2 *2 = 4


Now, we can get to the last part, my favorite one!


Simplify \frac{4}{6} down to \frac{2}{3}.


How did we do it? EASY!


See what number does evenly into both numerators and denominators. In this case, 2 goes into 4 twice, and 2 goes into 6 three times, so we're left with our beautiful answer \frac{2}{3}.


That wasn't so bad, was it? You can use this as a guide for figuring out math problems like these, in case you're stuck again. But just in case, message me if you need anymore help! :D
