Question

The ratio of the number of boys to that of girls in a school is 4:3. If the number of girls in the school is 162, find the number of boys in it. Then find the ratio of the number of girls to the total number of students in the school.​

Answer 1

total number of boys in skool is 216

And

ratio of girls to boys is a 3:4

Explanation:

let total no. of boys be X

ACCORDING TO QUESTION

ratio of boys to girls = 4:3

total number of girls = 162

now

4/3=X/162

or, 4×162= 3x

or, 4×162/3= X

hence

X = 216

therefore total number of boys is 216

and

ratio of girls to boys is =162/216

=3/4

=3:4
