The ratio of girls to boys in a school is 5:3. If there 60 boys, how many girls are in the school? I guessed it is 5+3=8.8/60

5 answers

x/5 = 60/3

Solve for x.
I dont think its 8.8
we gone need someone real smart to answer this
5:3
60:m
m=100

ps i dont give names
Let girls be x
5/3=x/60
CROSS MULTIPLY
3x=5*60
3x=300
Divide both sides by 3
3x/3=300/3
x=100
There are 100 girls in the school
