Question

A grade has 81 girls and 72 boys. The grade is split into groups that have the same ratio of girls to boys as the whole grade. How many girls are in a group that has 16 boys? Complete the ratio table to solve the problem.

Answer 1

For every 9 girls there are 8 boys!

Explanation:

So for the box under 9 there would be 8 and the next box on top of 16 would be 18 because 2*8 is 16 and 2*9 is 18.

Answer 2

The missing box on top is 18, the missing box on the bottom is 8. The answer to the question is 18
