You don't define the ratio, so there are two answers:
If 2/3 is boys to girls, then,
2/3 = 24/x
x = 36 girls

If 2/3 is girls to boys, then,
2/3 = x/24
x = 16 girls

(Boys) 24:36 (Girls)


If there are 24 boys then you’d divide the ratio from the boys part of the ratio (2) with the total (24) which is 12. The multiply 12 with the ratio number from the girls side of the ratio which is 3 to get the new ratio of both

2:3 ratio of boys:girls
Total: 24 boys

24(total boys) /2 (from ratio of boys) = 12 (difference)

12(difference) x 3 (from ratio of girls) = 36 (total girls)

New ratio of boys to girls is a 24:36

Note: if the ratio of boys increase then the ratio for girls increases by the same amount

3packs of soda is 10 dollars less than 5 packs of soda equation
RideAnS [48]
Ok. so lets call the cost of each soda x. now, 3 packs of soda is 10 less than five packs of soda. so the price of 3 packs of soda is 3x, the price of five packs is 5x. now, it says that 3 packs is 10 less than five packs. that means that 3x=5x-10.
now, to find the price of a pack of soda, we have to isolate x.
add 10 to both sides to get 3x+10=5x. now, we subtact 3x on both sides to get 10=2x. divide by 2 on both sides, x=5. a pack of soda is 5 dollars
