Question

On a field trip, there are 2 girls for every 3 boys.

If there are 20 kids total, how many girls are there?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 Girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 2:3. For every two girls, there are three boys. So 2+3=5. Now we are gonna divide 20 by 5 and you get 4. 4 equals one person. So fitting it into the ratio, 4x2=8. And to make sure it is correct, we also have to try it with the boy. 4x3=12. 12+8=20. Have a good day
