Question

School D has 880 boys to 200 girls The ratio of girls to all students is 5 to 27 22/27 of all students are boys idk how to get from 880 to 27 and do a proportion

Answer 1

(i)Ratio of the Number of Girls in the School to the Total Population

=5:27

(ii)Ratio of the Number of Boys in the School to the Total Population=22:27

Explanation:

Below is the steps on how the given ratio are derived

If the school has 880 boys and 200 girls

Total Population of the School=880+200=1080

Ratio of Girls to all Student is 5:27

Now, this is derived from this:

Ratio of the Number of Girls in the School to the Total Population

=200:1080
`=(200)/(1080) =(5)/(27)`

Which in reduced form is 5:27

You can do likewise for boys

Ratio of the Number of Boys in the School to the Total Population=880:1080
`=(880)/(1080) =(22)/(27)`

Which in reduced form is 22:27
