The ratio of boys to girls in the entire 6th grade is 3 to 2. Given this ratio, which two class compositions are possible?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

There's an infinite number of possible answers because there might be any multiplication of 3 for boys and any multiplication of 2 for girls. So, for example:

There might be 3 boys and 2 girls.

There might be 6 boys and 4 girls.

There might be 9 boys and 6 girls.

There might be 12 boys and 8 girls.

etc...

In each case the ratio stays the same - 3 : 2.

Of course there probably can't be more than a few dozens of people in one class, but theoretically we can raise the numbers up to infinite.

Step-by-step explanation:hope this help.
