if their is a ratio of 42 boys and 30 girls what is the ratio of how many is on each team their is 6 teams and their is the same amount on each team

Answer 1

42 / 6 = 7

30 / 6 = 5

7 boys and 5 girls on each of 6 teams.

Note, this is the minimum number of boys and girls on a team.

There could be 70 boys and 50 girls on each of the 6 teams.

Or even 7000 boys and 5000 girls.

Ratio does not provide an specific number only the relation between two quantities.

Answer 2

Hi Madison

Total number of people for the teams is 42 + 30 = 72

72÷6 =12 people per team

There are 12 teams each containing 7 boys and 5 girls

Do you want the ratio of boys to girls which is 7/5 = 42/30?

Do you want the ratio of girls to boys which is 5/7 = 30/42?

The numbers 42 and 30 share 6 as a common factor
