True or False: The ratio of boys to girls in Miss Bennet's class is 2:1. This ratio means there are two boys and one girl in Miss Bennet's class.- Is it true or False, and WHY?
Answered by Ms. Sue
It's false. Why do you think it's false?

What does a ratio mean?

Could there be 20 boys and 10 girls in the class?

Answered by Losa
A ratio compares two numbers by using division. I'm confused Ms. Sue, how do i get it?
Answered by Ms. Sue
The ratio means that there are 2 boys to every girl.

2:1 = 4/2 = 6/3 = 8/4 ~~~~20/10
