Question

The ratio of boys to girls in 8th grade at ESHS is 5:3. Calculate the number of boys if there are 210 girls. What is the total number of 8th grade students?​

Answer 1

Answer:

350

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 210 girls, then the number of boys is (210÷3)x7=350.

Answer 2

There are 560 total students


210/3=70
5*70=350
Then you add 210 back to 350
210+350=560
