Mrs.Rodriquez has 24 students in her class. Ten of the students are boys . Jeff claims that the ratio of boys to girls in this class must be 5:12. What is Jeff’s error and how can he correct it?
Answered by oobleck
the ratio of boys to the whole class is 10:24
that means there are 14 girls, so the ratio of boys to girls is 10:14
