First, let's start off with the information we already have. Since the ratio is 4 boys to 5 girls, there has to be a minimum of 9 students (4 being boys and 5 being girls).

9 will be the denominator of both of our fractions since the boys and girls are in the same class.

The fraction of boys in the class is 4/9 (since there are 4 boys to 5 girls in a class of 9, we would write 4 over 9) and the fraction of girls in the class is 5/9.

This is a simplified version of the fractions. If this is a multiple-answer question and 4/9 and 5/9 are not up there, try multiplying the fractions with different numbers and see what fractions will be correct. 

But either way, 4/9 and 5/9 are correct :)

Answer:

4/9 and 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

It's simple really you add up the ratios 4+5=9

So 9 will be the amount you have so this will be the denominator.

This means the fraction of boys will be 4/9 and the fraction of girls will be 5/9.

I hope this helped :)

Emily earned $166 more in her account than Katie.

We use the compound interest formula for both of these:

A=p(1+r)^t

For Katie's deposit:
A=5000(1+0.04)^5=5000(1.04)^5 = 6083.26

This gives Katie 6083.26-5000 = 1083.26 in interest (1083, to the nearest dollar).

For Emily's deposit:
A=10000(1+0.04)^3=10000(1.04)^3=11248.64

This means she earned 11248.64-10000=1248.64 in interest (1249, to the nearest dollar).

The difference in interest is given by 1249-1083=166
