Question

the ratio of boys to girls at the beach cleanup was 7:8. If there were 43 boys, how many girls were there?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure there were 48 girls at the beach clean up. 43 ÷ 7 = 6.14 (6 cause there's not gonna be floating males with missing body parts). So we multiply 6 x 8 and we get 48.
