Answer 1

55 percent are girls
45 percent are boys
The ratio is 11:9 so the ratio from G:B is 122 percent
The ratio is 9:11 so the ratio from B:G is 81 percent

Answer 2

198 girls/ 360 children

198/360 = 0.55, or 55% are girls

100 - 55 = 45

45% are boys

360 - 198 = 162

There are 162 boys

There are 198 girls, and 162 boys

198/162 = 1.22, or 122%, or 22% more girls than boys
162/198 = 0.81, or 81%, or 81% less boys than girls

hope this helps
