Add boys and girls together for total students:

40 + 16 = 56 total students

Girls to total students is 16/56

Divide both numbers by 8 to get 2/7

  • ⠀What is the ratio of girls to students?⠀⠀⠀

[tex]\sf{\bold{\purple{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}}}[/tex]

In a class,

boys=40

girls =16

So,

The students of the class =

  • boys+girls
  • 40+16
  • 56

According to the question,

we have to find the ratio of girls to the total students

  • ratio=[tex]\sf{\dfrac{girls}{students} }[/tex]

  • ratio=[tex]\sf{\dfrac{16}{56} }[/tex]

  • ratio=[tex]\sf{\dfrac{\cancel{16}}{\cancel{56}} }[/tex]

  • ratio=[tex]\sf{\dfrac{2}{7} }[/tex]

  • ratio=[tex]\sf{2:7 }[/tex]

⠀⠀⠀⠀
