Question

in a small village in Pakistan there are 360 children. if there are 200 boys in the village what is the ratio of girls to boys?

Answer 1

160:200, 4:5

Explanation:

We can simplify the ratio 160 : 200 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 160 and 200 is 40.

Divide both terms by 40.

160 ÷ 40 = 4

200 ÷ 40 = 5

Therefore:

160 : 200 = 4 : 5
