Answer 1

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys will be the'2' of this ratio

e we know that 2x3 = 6

so, 40 x 3 will give us the number of girls

ratio can be simplified to 1:3

for every 1 boy there are 3 girls and together there are 4 total kids. So there would be 30 girls and 10 boys in the classroom.
