Hi Josie
If the radio boys to girls is 2:3 you can solve the problem with equivalent fractions:
2/3 = 8/x , to be equivalent you have to multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number, which for this case has to be 4.
So x= 3*4 =12
2/3 = 8/12
The answer is: if there are 8 boys , there are 12 girls.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. In the school band, the ratio of boys to girls is 2 to 3. There are 8 more girls in the band than there are boys. Jordan used this proportion to model the situation. In Jordan's proportion, x = 16 , which represents the number of in the school.
