acxbox22 · Answer

@kah.x  if there are 70 boys and 30 girls
then girl/boy ratio is 30/70=3/7$$\frac{ 3 }{ 7 }\neq \frac{ 4 }{ 7 }$$

anonymous · Answer

how do i figure out the answer ?

anonymous · Answer

acxbox22 is correct. if the ratio of girls to boys is 4:7, then 7/11 of the classroom is boys. 7 divided by 11 is 0.63636363... or 63.63%. 63.63% of 100 students is 63.63. with that being said there cant be 63.63 boys, so the answer is either 63 or 64, id say 64 because you should round up.
