Question

Of the 18 students at dance camp. 6 are boys. What is the ratio of girls to total number of students at the camp?

Answer 1

First we have to find the number of girls in the dance clamp, and if we know the total students and the number of boys we can calculate like this:

`\begin{gathered} x+6=18 \\ x=18-6 \\ x=12 \end{gathered}`

now the ratio of girls to the total number of students at the camp is:

`(12)/(18)=(6)/(9)=(2)/(3)`

So the ratio will be 2:3
