Question

A group of preschoolers has 17 boys and 18 girls. What is the ratio of girls to all children?

Answer 1

Given:

The number of boys is 17.

The number of girls is 18.

The ratio of a to b is represented as a:b.

So, the ratio of girls to all children is,

`\begin{gathered} \text{ All Childrens=17+18=35},\text{ Number of girls=18} \\ a\colon b=18\colon35 \end{gathered}`

Answer: the ratio of girls to all children is 18:35
