Answer 1

C) 60.

Explanation:

Okay, I do math a little bit different than other kids... No worries though, its still correct.

First, find out how many times five can be put into a hundred. You should have gotten 20.

Now, we can use the twenty we got. Multiply 20 by the ratio of the boys. So 20 * 3 = 60.

Girls would be

20 * 2 = 40.

Those two numbers add up to a hundred so its all good. ^-^
