TULILLLUVIUC VULOTIUN

Using the ratio 2 out of every 5 students
are girls, how many girls would there be if
there are 10 students? Use the proportion
below to help you.
2.2
5.2
10

Answer 1

There would be 4 girls. This is because the ratio 2/5 is a fraction. If you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2, you'll get 4/10, which is also equal to 2/5. seeing the fraction 4/10, it should occur to you that four out of every ten students are girls.
