Question

The ratio of boys to girls in a club is 4:3. If there are 48 boys, how many members of the club are there?

Answer 1

number of boys+number of girls=48boys+36girls=84members

Explanation:

FIRST WE FIND THE NUMBER OF GIRLS BY STATISTICAL METHOD

4:3=48:x

4/3=48/x

By cross multiplication

4×x=48×3

4x=144

Dividing 4 on both sides

4x/4=144/4

x=36=number of girls

Answer 2

84

Explanation:

Basically the ratio was multiplied by 12 to get the number of boys so you do the same to the other one.
