Question

A youth chorus has 30 members. There are 14 boys in the chorus. What is the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form?.

Answer 1

Ratio is 7:8

Explanation:

Boys = 14

Girls = 30 - 14 = 16

`{ \tt{boys : girls = (boys)/(girls) }} \\ \\ { \tt{ = (14)/(16) }} \\ \\ = { \tt{ (7)/(8) }} \\ \\ = { \tt{7 :8 }}`
