The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 4:3. There are 35 students in the class. How many students are boys?

Answer 1

There are 15 boys.

Let x represent the answer!

it would be 4x+3x=35

add 4x+3x

7x=35

divide 35 by 7

x=5

multiply 5 x 4 then you get 20 girls

then multiply 5 x 3 to get 15 boys.
