Explanation:

If the ratio is 6:7 the students should divide nicely into 6+7=13 parts. Six of those parts are girls, seven of those parts are boys.

364 / 13 = 28

So 6 × 28 = 168 girls

Answer: 168

Check:

7 × 28 = 196 boys

168 + 196 = 364, good

Answer: 168


Explanation:

6+7 = 13 parts.

Divide 364 by 13 to find how many are in each part;

364/13 = 28

Girls = 6 parts

6 x 28 = 168 girls

Boys = 7 parts

7 x 28 = 196 Boys
