Answer: there are 5 more girls than boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys to girls in a classroom is 5:6. The total ratio is the sum of the proportion. It becomes 5 + 6 = 11

If there are 55 students in total, it means that the number of boys in the class is

5/11 × 55 = 25 boys

Also, the number of girls in the class is

6/11 × 55 = 30 girls

Therefore, the difference between the number of girls and boys in the class is

30 - 25 = 5 girls

Find the percent increase. Round to the nearest percent. From 13 friends to 16 friends
larisa86 [58]

The percentage increase; you'll need to take the new value and subtract it by the old value.

16 - 13 = 3

Next, you'll divide 3 by the original value.

3 ÷ 13 = 0.23

And multiply by 100

The percentage increase of friends is 23%
