Answer 1

The ratio (fraction) of boys to girls is 3 is to 4. Or,

`\frac{\text{Boys}}{\text{Girls}}=(3)/(4)`

We can think of this as "3" part boys and "4" part girls.

In total, there are 3 + 4 = 7 parts.

>>> Given, total of 245 students, how many students are in each part??

There are 7 parts in a total of 245. So,

Each part = 245/7 = 35 students in each part.

>>> Boys are "3" parts, so that would make the total number of boys:

Total Boys = 3 * 35 = 105 boys
