Question

If there are 40 boys and 60 girls in a room, fill out all of the possible ratios of boys to girls that could be made.

Answer 1

40:60 or 60:40

Explanation:

This is the answer because a ratio looks like this

#:# <that just means a number by a number

and since the question is telling you to fill out all of the possible ratios of boys to girls that could be made.

There is really only one way you can write boys to girls but since they saying this try flipping the answer around like this: 60:40

Answer 2

40+60=100. So one person equals 1%, meaning 40% are boys and 60% are girls. By simplifying, we will find that possible ratios below the value of 100 are 40:60, 4:6, 2:3, and 20:30.
