If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:5 and there are 15 boys, how many girls are there?
Show the answer
Answer: D. 25. Boys:Girls = 3:5. If 3 parts = 15 boys, then 1 part = 5. So 5 parts (girls) = 5 × 5 = 25 girls. Tip: scale both parts of a ratio by the same factor. Total = sum of ratio parts when working with part-to-whole.
If 3 out of every 5 students in a school are girls and there are 240 girls, how many students are there in total?
Show the answer
Answer: C. 400. 3/5 of total = 240. Total = 240 × 5/3 = 400 students. Tip: scale both parts of a ratio by the same factor. Total = sum of ratio parts when working with part-to-whole.
