Question

Sean wants the ratio of boys to girl at his party to be 4 to 3 How many girls will have to come to the party if there will be 16 boys A. 8 B.10 C.12 D.14

Answer 1

Answer: C) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

4:3= 4 boys per 3 girls

16: x= 16 boys to x girls

Since Sean wants there to be 16 boys, he has to divide 16 boys by the ratio of 4.

You will get 4, and now you multiply 4 by the ratio of 3 girls.

In other words, 4 times 3 is 12, so he will need 12 girls to go to his party to keep a 4:3 ratio.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer: I think the answer is D.14 because the ratio is 4 to 3 and it makes the most sense.
