The ratio of boys to girl in a school is 5:7 if there are 600 students, how many girls are there

Mathematics

Answer:

350 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

So,

The secret to solving problems with ratios is to find the value of one unit.

5:7 = 12 units total

To find one unit, divide the total number of students by the total number of units.

600/12 = a

Simplify

50/1 = a

50 = a

The value of each unit is 50.

Now, multiply the units by the numbers in the ratio.

50(5) = b

250 = boys

50(7) = x

350 = x

There are 350 girls.

<h3><u>Ⲁⲛ⳽ⲱⲉⲅ:</u></h3>

  • 38,016 cm³

<h3><u>Ⲋⲟⳑⳙⲧⳕⲟⲛ :</u></h3>

<u>We </u><u>are </u><u>given </u><u>that </u><u>:</u>

  • Height of cylinder = 21 cm

  • Radius of cylinder = 24 cm

<u>Therefore, Volume :</u>

➙ V = πr²h

➙ V = ( 22 / 7 ) × ( 24 )² × ( 21 )

➙ V = ( 22 / 7 ) × 576 × 21

➙ V = ( 22 × 576 × 21 ) / 7

➙ V = 266112 / 7

➙ V = 38016
