Question

There are 184 boys in the junior class of 392 students. Find the ratio in simplest form of boys to girls.

Answer 1

23:26

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students = 392

Number of boys = 184

Therefore, the number of girls

= 392 - 184

=208

Therefore, the ratio in simplest form of boys to girls is:

`\begin{gathered} 184\colon208 \\ =(184)/(8)\colon(208)/(8) \\ =23\colon26 \end{gathered}`
