medal A youth chorus has 30 members. There are 14 boys in the chorus. What is the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14/30

simplyfied

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

First what you should do is subtract 14 from 30, which is 16, which means that there's 14 boys and 16 girls.. Your ratio is 14:16 but you can divide both of those by 2 in order to simplify them.. When they are simplified they equal 7:8

OpenStudy (the_beast_eli):

ok, which one is right?

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Mine? XD

OpenStudy (the_beast_eli):

ok

OpenStudy (the_beast_eli):

So 7\8
