If there are 5 boys for every 7 girls in math class, how many boys are there if there are 35 girls?

Answer 1

If there are 5 boys for every 7 girls in math class, then the ratio of boys to girls is 5/7.

If there are 35 girls, then the number of boys in math class can be calculated as:

Number of boys = (5/7) * 35 = 25 boys.

Therefore, there are 25 boys in math class.
