Number of boys enrolled is 105

Solution:

Given that, At a local preschool there is s as ratio of 3 boys to every 4 girls

There are 245 total preschoolers

Ratio of boys and girls = 3 : 4

Number of boys : number of girls = 3 : 4

Let the number of boys be 3x

Let the number of girls be 4x

Total number of preschoolers = 245

Therefore,

number of boys + number of girls = 245

3x + 4x = 245

7x = 245

x = 35

Number of boys = 3x = 3(35) = 105

Thus number of boys is 105
