Answer: 2 : 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boys = 4

Number of girls = 10

Total number of students = total number of boys + total number of girls ,that is

Total number of students = 4 + 10

= 14

Therefore , the ratio in the simplest form that compares number of boys to total number of students is given by

number of boys : total number of students , that is

4 : 14

which will be

2 : 7 in the simplest form

A ratio is something in math that is used to compare two things. In this question, we can use a ration to compare the boys to total number of students in the class.

Add to find total number of students: 4 + 10 = 14

Now put into a ratio: 4:14

Simplify the ratio by diving with common factors.

4/2:14/2 → 2:7

Final answer ~ 2:7 or 2/7

Answer:

The ratio of sanstone to marble is... 141414 : 333

All you have to do is look at how much sandstone Dean has and how much marble he has, then put the amount of sandstone infront of the amount of marble because in the question it says what is the ratio of sandstone to marble and you see that sandstone is first.

Hope this helps! :)
