Answer 1

Answer:

(i)Ratio of the Number of Girls in the School to the Total Population

=5:27

(ii)Ratio of the Number of Boys in the School to the Total Population=22:27

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the steps on how the given ratio are derived

If the school has 880 boys and 200 girls

Total Population of the School=880+200=1080

Ratio of Girls to all Student is 5:27

Now, this is derived from this:

Ratio of the Number of Girls in the School to the Total Population

=200:1080$=\frac{200}{1080} =\frac{5}{27}$

Which in reduced form is 5:27

You can do likewise for boys

Ratio of the Number of Boys in the School to the Total Population=880:1080$=\frac{880}{1080} =\frac{22}{27}$

Which in reduced form is 22:27
