<h3>Answer =  3:1</h3>

==========================================

Work Shown

45 girls : 15 boys

45/15 girls : 15/15 boys .... divide both parts by 15

3 girls : 1 boy

This tells us there are three times as many girls as there are boys.

We write this as the ratio 3 : 1. The order of the terms is important. We cannot say 1:3 since that would imply there are more boys than girls, but it's the other way around.

What is the value of y?
mrs_skeptik [129]
Ok so you would start by getting rid of the fraction. You should know the steps for that by now but here this is what it would look like
3y/4+10=2y/4 Simplify
3y/4+10=1y/2
10=-1y 
I really simplified the last part but this is what it looks like:  \frac{2y}{4}- \frac{3y}{4} = -1y
10=-1y
y=-10
