Emily’s mom is buying party favors for her birthday party. There are 16 kids coming altogether. If there are 10 girls coming, what is the ratio of boys to girls that will be at the party?(1 point) Responses 5:3 ratio of 5 to 3 10:6 ratio of 10 to 6 3:5 ratio of 3 to 5 10:16

Answer 1

To determine the ratio of boys to girls at the party, we first need to find out how many boys are coming.

We know:

• Total kids = 16
• Girls = 10

Number of boys = Total kids - Girls = 16 - 10 = 6

Now that we have the number of boys (6) and girls (10), we can establish the ratio of boys to girls:

Ratio of boys to girls = Number of boys : Number of girls = 6 : 10

This can be simplified by dividing both numbers by 2:

6 ÷ 2 : 10 ÷ 2 = 3 : 5

So, the ratio of boys to girls that will be at the party is 3:5.

The correct response is 3:5 ratio of 3 to 5.
