Question

plllz help urgent if ms.barnes class has a ratios girls to boys is 5 to 8 .if there are a total of 65 students , how many girls are there?

Answer 1

there are 25 girls. you can figure this out by adding 5 and 8 to find that there are 5 girls for every 13 students. then you have to find how many times 13 fits into 65. in this case it is 5. knowing this you can multiply the 5 girls by 5 to find that there are 25 girls in a class of 65 students
