A ratio of boys to girls is 5 to 4. How many girls are on the team if there are 65 boys?

Boys: 5 • _ = 65
65 Divided By 5 = 13

Girls: 13 • 4 = _
You Can Round 13 To 15, And 15 • 4 = 60
4 • 2 = 8
So, 60 - 8 = 52

Therefore, 52 Girls Are On The Team Along With 65 Boys.
Ratio: 65:52 Or 65 To 52

Ratio - boys: girls, or 5:4

boys = 5
girls = 4

There are 65 boys

Divide 65 with 5

65/5 = 13

Now multiply 13 with 4

13 x 4 = 52

There are 52 girls to 65 boys

65:52

hope this helps
