marlena surveyed classmates and found that the ratio of the numbers of text messages sent by girls varies directly with the number of texts sent to boys. The girls sent 27 texts for 9 texts sent by the boys.How Many texts did the girls send if the boys sent 7 texts

27/9 = x/7
x = 189/9
x = 21
If the boys sent 7 texts , the girls must have sent 21 texts back.
