Answer:

4:7

20 divided by 4 = 5

So 5X7= 35.

There are now 35 girls in the club.

New ratio: 20:35

Simplify it.

The simplest form of 20/35 is 4/7.

This IS NOT A TYPO. This IS NOT INCORRECT.

Since we multiplied by 5, and both 20 and 35 are divisible by 5, is will always be 4/7 if you multiply it by 5 in simplest terms.

One more boy joins.

Now the ratio is 5/7.

5/7 cannot be simplified, therefore, 5/7 simplified is 5/7.

Hope this helps!!
