  • Relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.

==============================

Statement:

A class of 54 students has 16 boys:

Answer:

(a)

[tex] \huge \boxed{ \sf \orange{8 \: : \: 19}}[/tex]

(b)

[tex]\huge \boxed{ \sf \orange{8 \: : \: 27}}[/tex]

==============================

Solve for A:

  • Find the number of girls in a class of 54 students and 16 of them are boys.

[tex] \large54 - 16 = 38[/tex]

  • Write the word "Number of boys is to number of girls" into a Form of Ratio.

[tex] \large{16 \: : \: 38}[/tex]

  • Simplify by finding the lowest term.

[tex]\large{16 \div 2 \: : \: 38 \div 2} \\ \large \boxed{8 \: : \: 19}[/tex]

==============================

Solve for B:

  • Write the word "Number of boys is to number of students in the class" into a Form of Ratio.

[tex]\large{16 \: : \: 54}[/tex]

  • Simplify by finding the lowest term.

[tex]\large{16 \div 2 \: : \: 54 \div 2} \\ \large \boxed{8 \: : \: 27}[/tex]
