42 feet to 6 feet can be written as both ratio and a fraction:
42:6
42/6
If we look at the fraction, we can clearly see that we can simplify it:
42/6 = 7/1 = 7
So we can write the ratio in its lowest terms as 7:1.
So you would multiply if it has the word of in the problem right?
There are 81 girls to every 72 boys in total, which can be represented by 81/72, which put into decimal form, is 1.125. If you then take the number of boys in the group, 16, and multiply it by this number (because the problem states that the ratio is constant) you can find the number of girls in the group.
16*1.125=18
So there are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys.
