Boys = 576

Girl = 480

GCF of 576 and 480 is 96.

Now , dividing both numbers by GCF.

$\large\bf{\red{ \longrightarrow}} \tt \: \frac{ \cancel{480} \: ^{5} }{ \cancel{576} \: ^{6} } \\$

$\large\bf{\red{ \longrightarrow}} \tt \: \frac{5}{6} \\$

<h3>⇛Hence , the ratio will be 5 : 6</h3>

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

$\begin{cases}4x-2y=7\\3x-3y=15 \end{cases}$

To solve the given system of equations by addition, make one of the variables in both equations sum to zero. To do this, the chosen variable must have the same coefficient, but it should be negative in one equation and positive in the other, so that when the two equations are added together, the variable is eliminated.

To eliminate the variable y:

Multiply the top equation by -3 to make the coefficient of the y variable 6:

$\implies -3(4x-2y=7) \implies -12x+6y=-21$
