Question

There are 3 boys to every 5 girls in Mrs. Kennedy's class. If there are 32 students in the class, how many of those students are boys?

Answer 1

3 boys to 5 girls = 3/5 = 60%

So we know that 60% of the class is boys. Since there are 32 people in the whole class, we just need to find 60% of 32

32 x 0.60 = 19.2 boys

since we can't have 0.2 of a person, we can round down to 19

Answer 2

so than 3 boys to 5 girls
6 boys to 10 girls
9 boys to 15 girls but this is total 24
so 1.case 11 boys to 19 girls =30 or
2. case 12 boys to 18 girls =30

good luck
