Question

If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is \[3:2\]. If there are 33 boys then how many girls will be there?

Answer 1

Hint:
Firstly, we have to write the ratio of boys and girls. Then we have to write the value of boys that is given in the question to find the value of girls.

Complete step by step solution:
We have given the ratio of boys to girls i.e. \[3:2\]
There are total 33 boys in the class
Then how many girls are there?
 $ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{Boys}}{{Girls}} = \dfrac{3}{2}$
 $ \Rightarrow \dfrac{{33}}{{Girls}} = \dfrac{3}{2}$
 $ \Rightarrow Girls = \dfrac{{33 \times 2}}{3} = 22girls$

$\therefore $ There are a total of 22 girls in the ratio.

Note:
We have to write the correct ratio of boys and girls because sometimes we write the wrong ratio, From this our answer becomes wrong. So, we should write the correct ratio.
