In New York there was previously an all girl high school. In 2005, the high school began to allow boys to enroll. By 2012, the ratio of boys to girls was 5:7. If there were 250 more girls than boys in 2012, how many boys were enrolled that year? Use a table graph or tape diagram to justify your answer

250 dived by 2 = 125
125 times 5 = 625
