Question

Mrs. Fronkos class for evry 6 boys there are 8 girls. Write the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form

Answer 1

3:4

Explanation:

there are 6 boys for every 8 girls, so the initial ratio is 6:8. however, this can be simplified by finding a number both 6 and 8 are evenly divisible by. In this case, you can divide the ratio by 2. 6/2 = 3 and 8/2 = 4, which is why the simplified form is 3:4
