The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls in a school choir is 4:3.there are 6 more boys than girls.if another 2 girls join the choir, what will be the new ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls in the school choir?

2 answers

current count:
boys --- 4x
girls ---- 3x

4x = 3x + 6
x = 6
there were 24 boys and 18 girls

after 2 girls are added,
new ratio is 24 : 20
= 6 : 5
24:20=6:4
