Question

A school has 300 students.If the ratio of boys to girls is 31 to 44, how many more girls are there in the school?

Answer 1

there would be 52 more girls I think

Explanation:

let x = multiplier then

31x =number of boys

44x = number of girls

Boys + girls = 300

44x + 31x =300

75x = 300

x = 300/75

x = 4 is the multiplier

therefore:

44*4 = 176 girls

31*4 = 124 boys

dif = 52 more girls than boys

hope this helped :)
