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 :)

Nicole sold 1 cherry pie and 9 pumpkin pies for $60. Lisa sold 11 cheery pies and 4 pumpkin pies for $90. what's the cost each o
bogdanovich [222]
Cherry pie  is $ C.
Pumpkin pie is $ P.

C +   9P =60 -------> C=60 - 9P
11C+4P = 90  

11(60 - 9P) +4P=90
660 - 99P + 4P = 90
-95P = -570
P =570/95 = 6
P=6
C=60-9*P=60 - 9*6= 60-54=6
C=6

Answer: 1 cherry pie -$6, 1 pumpkin pie - $6.

Check:
11C+4P = 90  , 11*6 +4*6 =90, 66+24=90, 90=90 True
