Question

The girl boy ratio is 10 to 2 if there are a total of 24 students how many girls are there.

Answer 1

20/4 because 10 + 2 is 12 and 12 multiples by 2 is 24 so you multiply 10 and 2 by 2 each to get your answer

Answer 2

There would be 20 girls.

Explanation:

10 + 2 = 12, So there are 10 girls in every 12 students

24 / 12 = 2, so there are exactly 2 groups of 12

10 * 2 = 20, there are 20 female students
