The ratio of boys to girls in the 7th grade at GACA is 2 to 4. If there were 850 kids in the 7th grade, how many would you expect to be girls? Round to the nearest whole number. (1 point)

Answer 1

The ratio of boys to girls is 2 to 4, which simplifies to 1 to 2.

Since there are 850 kids in the 7th grade, we can set up a proportion:

1/2 = x/850

Cross multiplying, we get 2x = 850.

Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = 425.

Therefore, we would expect there to be 425 girls in the 7th grade.
