Question

There are 28 girls and 21 boys in a class. What is the ratio, in simplest terms, of the number of girls to the number of boys? (show the work please)

Answer 1

Answer: The simplified ratio is 4:3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys, we can divide the number of girls (28) by the number of boys (21) to get:

28 ÷ 21 = $\frac{28}{21}$

Next, we can simplify the fraction further to get $\frac{4}{3}$, which equals 4:3.
