The ratios of boys to girls on a soccer league is 2 : 5. If there are 28 boys, How many girls are playing soccer?

1 answer

The ratio of boys to girls in the soccer league is 2:5.
If there are 28 boys, then the total ratio of boys and girls participating in the soccer league is 2+5= <<2+5=7>>7
From the ratio, the fraction representing the girls is 5/7, and since the total number of girls and boys participating in the soccer is 28+g = 7, then 5/7g = 28/7.
The total number of girls playing in the soccer league is 28/7*5=20 girls. Answer: \boxed{20}.
