Question

3. There are 32 students in the school play. The ratio of girls to all students

in the play is 5: 8. How many girls are in the play?
4. Two out of three vehicles in a parking lot are SUVs. There are 18 SUVs
in the parking lot. How many vehicles are in the parking lot

Answer 1

I believe the answers would be 20 then 27

Explanations

3- I believe the answer is 20

There are 32 students total and the ratio of girls to all of the students in the play is 5:8

So to get from 8 to 32 you need to multiply by 4, so you would go the same to the five which give you 20

The according to this, there are 20 girls in the play. And 20/32 = 62.5% as does 5/8

4- I believe the answer would be 27

As said, 2/3 of the vehicles are SUVs and that is equal to 18 SUVs.

To get what equals 1/3, you would divide 18 by two which gives you 9.

Now to get the total, you would have to multiply 9 by 3 to get all three parts which would give you 27

Please correct me if I am wrong, have a good day
