The middle school band has a boy to girl ratio of 4:6.
The band had 20 members last year and 25 members this year.
How many girls and how many boys are in the band in each of these two years?

Answer:

8:12

Explanation:

Ok so the starting ratio is 4:6

It is 20 members last year and 25 member the next year.

LAST: 20 THIS YEAR:25

When u use the ratio of 4:6 IN 25 students, u get

8:12 LAST year.

You can check because 8 + 12 = 20, or the total number of students.
