<span>The ratio of boys to girls in a school is 5:4. if there are 180 students, how many girls are there?
Let the number of girls and boys be 'x'.
</span>
<span>
Add 5 and 4
</span>
<span>
</span>
<span>
Now, multiply the ratios by 20.
Boys = 20 </span>× 5 = 100
Girls = 20 × 4 = 80.
There were 80 girls.
Hope I helped (:

To solve this problem, you have to know these two special factorizations:
Knowing these tells us that if we want to rationalize the numerator. we want to use the top equation to our advantage. Let:
That tells us that we have:
So, since we have one part of the special factorization, we need to multiply the top and the bottom by the other part, so:
So, we have:
That is our rational expression with a rationalized numerator.
Also, you could just mutiply by:
Either way, our expression is rationalized.
