Question

In a class the ratio of number of boys to the number of girls is 4:5. If the number of girls is 20, find the number of boy ??

Answer 1

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 25 because if the ratio is 4:5 and there are 20 girls that means they multiplied 4 times 5 to get 20 and that means you have to do the same to the ratio of boy and when you multiply 5 times 5 you get 25

Answer 2

Answer:

Let x and y be the no. of boys and girls in the class.

Then,

x/y = 4/5

=> 20/y = 4/5 [Given that x = no. of boys = 20]

=> 4y = 20×5

=> 4y = 100

=> y = 100/4

=> y = 25

Therefore the no. of girls in the class is 25
