Question

for every girl taking classes at the martial arts school there are 3 boys who are taking classes at the school. if there are 236 students taking classes ,write and solve a proportion to predict the number of boys taking classes at school

Answer 1

The ratio of boys to girls is 3:1

lets say a student = x

1x + 3x = 236
4x = 236
x = 236/4
x = 59

girls = 1x = 1*59 = 59
boys = 3x = 3*59 = 177

There are 59 girls and 177 boys
