we know that

Ratio is the quantitative relation between two numbers

so

Let

x-------> number of boys in the class

y-------> number of girls in the class

ratio=\frac{x}{y}

in this problem we have

x=6\ boys\\y=15\ girls

<u>Find the ratio</u>

substitute the values in the formula

ratio=\frac{6}{15}

Divide by 3 both numerator and denominator

ratio=\frac{2}{5}

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the ratio of boys to girls is \frac{2}{5}

lina2011 [118]
This is how I would solve it, I would act as if there were 36 people in the class.
36÷6=6×5=30
30÷3=10×2=20
20/36=10/18=5/9
You could also try another number such as 24;
24×(5÷6)=20
20×(2/3)=13.3(3 repeating)
13.333/24=5/9
5/9 people have dogs.

Can someone help me??
Allushta [10]

Answer:

67.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The piece that isn't marked with xs is 90 degrees marked by the square symbol representing a right angle.

Full circle = 360 degrees

360 degrees - 90 degrees = 270 degrees

Now, if we add all the like terms we have 4 x's in total. This is becauswe 3x + another x = 4x.

So, we need to divide 270 by 4. We get 67.5 degrees.

Hope this helps!
