At summer camp the ratio of boy to girls was 7:1. If there were 63 boys, how many girls were there

9 girls

Because the ratio is 7:1 ,every 7 boy there is a girl. So you just need to take 63÷7 then you will get the number of girls

For every 7 boys, there is one girl

So: 63/7 = 9

There are 9 girls.
