In English class, the girl to boy ratio is 10 to 2. If there are 10 boys, how many girls are there?

1 answer

If the girl to boy ratio is 10 to 2, then for every 2 boys, there are 10 girls. Since there are 10 boys, we can use the ratio to find out how many girls there are:

10 boys * (10 girls / 2 boys) = 50 girls

Therefore, there are 50 girls in the English class.
