Question

A class of 25 students includes 12 boys. Does the ratio of girls to students represent a fraction? Does the ratio of boys to girls represent a fraction? How do you know?

I need help with this

Answer 1

Yes.

Explanation:

First find the number of girls:

Girls = Total class - boys

So there are 25 - 12 = 13 girls.

Thus the ratio is a fraction.

12/13 cannot be simplified further.

I hope this helps you :)
