Question

In science class, the girl to boy ratio is 3 to 7.

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 35 boys in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Girls to Boys ratio = 3:7

Total number of students in class = 50

Let total number of girls be '3x' and total number of boys be '7x'

Total number of girls + Total number of boys = Total number of students

3x + 7x = 50

10x = 50

x = 50/10

x = 5

$\therefore$

Total number of girls = 3 × 5 = 15

Total number of boys = 7 × 5 = 35
