Given:
Total number of students at Colfax Middle School = 270
Ratio of boys to girls is 5:4.
Total number of students at Winthrop Middle School = 180
Ratio of boys to girls is 4:5.
The two schools hold a dance and all students from both schools attend.
To find:
The fraction of the students at the dance are girls
Solution:
There are 270 students at Colfax Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 5:4.

Number of boys 
Number of girls 
There are 180 students at Winthrop Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 4:5.

Number of boys 
Number of girls 
Now,
Total number of students in both schools 

Total number of girls in both schools 

The fraction of the students at the dance are girls is



Therefore, the required fraction is
.
Average speed = 
Ishan's Speed uphill = 10mph
Time taken = 18 minutes = 18/60 = 3/10 hours
Now distance = rate × time
Distance traveled by Ishaan up hill = 10 × 3/10 = 3 miles
Now returning back home
Distance = 3 miles
Rate = 30 mph
So time taken = distance/ rate = 3/30= 1/10 hours = 1/10 ×60 = 6 minutes.
Now total distance traveled = 3 + 3 = 6 miles
Total time taken = 18 + 6 = 24 minutes = 24/60 = 2/5 hours
Average speed
= 
= 15 mph
Ishaan's average speed for the entire trip from home to the gift store and back is 15mph
