Question

8 out of every 14 children in a school are boys. What is the ratio of boys to girls in the school?

Answer 1

8 : 6 <or> 4 : 3

Explanation:

8 : 6 <or> 4 : 3

Since there are 8 boys out of 14, if you minus them , the answer will be the number of girls out of 14.

Answer 2

8:6

Explanation:

If 8 out of 14 students are boys then the remaining number of students must be girls

So

14-8= 6

There are 6 girls out of the 14

So as a ratio of boys to girls

8:6
