The ratio of boys to girls in the 10th grade is 8 to 13. If there are 91 girls in 10th grade, then how many boys are there?

Respuesta :

Answer: There are 56 boys in the 10th grade

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

ratio of boys to girls in the 10th grade is 8 :13

Number of girls= 91

To find the number of boys, we first find the total number of boys and girls in the 10th grade

Step 2

Now the total ratio= 8 +13=21

Number of girls = ratio of girls/ total ratio  x  Total number of students

91=13/ 21  x  Total number of students

Total number of students =21 x 91 / 13  =147

Step 3

Therefore Number of boys =ratio of boys/ total ratio  x  Total number of student

8/21 x 147=56
