@Migoz300

KjSaif (kjsaif):

d or c? i'm stuck for some reason

OpenStudy (anonymous):

most likely b the reason why is it is 3 to one so it would look like 1/3 or it could mean it is a portion of 4 so maybe a but your best bet would be B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and why would it be c or d???

KjSaif (kjsaif):

oh ratios

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

Add the two parts (3 + 1) and then find what percentage of that sum the girl part is

KjSaif (kjsaif):

thought there was 3 girls and 1 boy -_-

KjSaif (kjsaif):

its a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it didn't say three boys and one girl so there cannot be 4 it is alking about the entire class cause it it was it wouldv'e said it then i would have went a thats why i was saying cause of how it was presented but just in case i explained why it would be 25% also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*it was talking not i"it is alking"

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

It's asking the percentage of girls in the whole class. So you need to add the two parts

KjSaif (kjsaif):

is the answer a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i really gave you two options of either one and well i did i explained up there earlier^^^^^^

Yes it is a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

I'm sure it's right don't worry. What's an example of a class distribution where there are 3 to 1 boys to girls? 75 boys to 25 girls. 75 boys is 3 times the 25 girls. And 25 is 25% of the total 100 students

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey if it was right i was also i said it could be a

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

I was more focused on explaining why and not just giving the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i did say why it could be

KjSaif (kjsaif):

I got a 100%:)

KjSaif (kjsaif):

with @Migoz300 getting 10/10 correct (with me getting 8/10 correct

KjSaif (kjsaif):

so i would of had a 80 if @Migoz300 didn't help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
