Question

Santa has many toys to deliver on Elm Street. If there are 48 kids that live on Elm

Answer 1

Answer: 3 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 48 kids in Elm street.

12 of them are boys, then the number of girls will be:

48 - 12 = 36

So there are 12 boys and 36 girls.

Then the ratio of girls to boys is 36:12

We can divide both numbers by the same number and we will get an equivalent ratio, if we divide by 12 in both sides, we have:

36/12 : 12/12

3 : 1

Then the ratio is 3 to 1.
