The ratio of boys to girls class is 5 to 4. If there were a total of 63 students in gym class. how many are girls and how many are boys?

Answer 1

If you have 63 students and there is a 5:4 ratio boys:girls, there are 35 boys and 28 girls.

5 + 4 = 9

63 / 9 = 7

7 * 5 = 35 boys

7 * 4 = 28 girls

35 + 28 = 63 students
