Enter your answer by filling in the boxes

Answer 1

7:16

Explanation:

The answer will be laid out like this-

girls : total children

This question is asking for the ratio of girls to the total number of kids, and we already know that there are 7 girls, so that already fills in the first part of the answer! Now we have to add both the girls and the boys up for the rest of the answer.

7 + 9 = 16

Now we just fill in the blanks for the layout we just created and we have our answer- 7:16!

Hope this helps! Have a lovely day! :)
