A class of 25 students includes 12 boys. Does the ratio of girls to students represent a fraction? Does the ratio of boys to girls represent a fraction? How do you know?
Well since there are 25 students in the class...and we know that 12 are boys...we then know that 13 are girls... A ratio of girls:Students would be 13:25 or 13 --- 25 That is to say...there are 13 girls out of 25 students... And since there are 12 boys and 13 girls...that would be boys:girls = 12:13 or 12 --- 13 So yes, both can be represented as a fraction
Thank you :)
