There is no way that 106 can be divided into the ratio of 3:2.
However, 40 can be so divided, since 40 = 8*5, so 24:16 = 3:2
I suspect a typo.
40 children were selling tickets for a charity. The ratio of the number of tickets each boy sold to the number of tickets each girl sold was 3:2.
a)If 106 tickets were sold altogether, how many boys were there?
b)What is the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls who sold the tickets?(Give your answer in its simplest form)
