Question

An art class has 33 students. The ratio of boys to girls is 5:6. How many girls are in this

Answer 1

Answer:

18 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you have to add the 5 and 6 to get 11. And then you divide the total amount of students (33) by the 11 you got earlier which you get a 3 from.Then you multiply the 3 times the number of girls (6) to get 18 girls. And you would multiply the 3 times the 5 if you wanted to find the number of boys in the art class.

Have a most wonderful day!!

Step-by-step explanation:

g/b = 6/5

g = (6/5)b

g + b = 33

---

g + b = 33

(6/5)b + b = 33

(6/5)b + (5/5)b = 33

(11/5)b = 33

---

b = 33(5/11)
