Question

ms rodriguez has 24 students in her class room. 10 of the students are boys. Jeff claims that the ratio of boys to girls must be 5:12 what is Jeffs error and how can he correct it?

Answer 1

The answer instead is 10:14.

Explanation:

In this case, there are ten boys and fourteen girls in this class. The ration would then be 10:14. Instead, Jeff said 5:12 which isn't correct. He can correct it by using the number of boys given, find the difference of girls in a class of twenty-four students, and then get his answer!
