Question

The ratio of boys to girls is 2:1. If there are 22 more boys than girls , work out how many people there are in total

Answer 1

33 total

Explanation:

How I see this problem is that it is being multiplied by 11.

`2 * 11 = 22`

So, we should multiply the girl's side of the ratio, too!

`1 * 11 = 11`

Now for the final step.

It is asking for the total amount of people! Simple! You add!

`11 + 22 = 33`

I hope I helped!
