There are 160 boys.

Set up a proportion:

the ratio of girls to boys is 7/8, we don’t know how many boys there are but we know that there are 140 girls.


7/8 = 140/x

Make sure that girls and girls are across from each other in the proportion. 7 should be across from 140. 8 is across from x. X represents how many boys there are.

Solve for X (the amount of boys) and you get 160 boys.

And you can always check your answer by plugging it back into the problem.

Answer:

The probability that a student who is involved in a sports team also participated in the prom dance = 0.1344

Step-by-step explanation:

56% of the students are involved in a sport team

56% = 0.56

According to the question, it is stated that 24% of the students at the school that are involved in a sports team also participated in the prom dance.

24% = 0.24

This means that we are going to find 24% of the original 56%, since 24% of them also participated in the prom dance.

The probability that a student who is involved in a sports team also participated in the prom dance = 0.24 * 0.56

The probability that a student who is involved in a sports team also participated in the prom dance = 0.1344
