When Working with ratios we have to be VERY careful because you HAVE to put the numbers for the ratio in the way it says. If you change the order than your changing the answer. Ratio's can be written in 3 different ways. Like this:-
a to b
a:b
[tex] \frac{a}{b} [/tex]
Now lets solve out to see how many girls there are in the class.
30 students in total
16 boys
? girls
30 - 16 = 14
14 girls
CHECK OUR WORK:-
14 + 16 = 30
We were RIGHT!!

Total Students:- 30
A. Girls to boys
