Question

Ratio of boys to girls is 4:5 what fraction of class is boys

Answer 1

So you have four boys and five girls making the count of 4+5=9 and it’s simplest form so you have to change the ratio proportion into fraction proportion, which then we have boys into four out of nine of the whole so the answer is 4/9

Answer 2

The ratio of boys to girls is 4:5, which can be simplified to 4/5.

The fraction of the class that is boys is 4/5 (or 0.8), and the fraction of the class that is girls is 5/9 (or 0.5555).

So, 4/9 of the class is boys.
