We will investigate the application of ratios applied to the number of students in class where a ratio is expressed for two genders.
The Mr. Miller's teams has certain number of girls and boys. The ratio to each gender of students on his team is given as:
[tex]\frac{Number\text{ of girls}}{Number\text{ of boys}}\text{ = }\frac{4}{5}[/tex]We are to determine the total number of students on Mr.Miller's team if his team had 48 girls.
We will used the ratio that is expressed as a fraction and plug in the respective quantity of ( 48 ) girls as follows:
[tex]\frac{48}{Number\text{ of boys}}\text{ = }\frac{4}{5}[/tex]Now we will solve the above equation for the number of boys on the team as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Number of boys = 48}\cdot\frac{5}{4} \\ \\ \text{Number of boys = 60 } \end{gathered}[/tex]The total number of students on Mr Miller's team is the sum of both genders as follows:
[tex]\text{Students on team = Number of boys + Number of girls}[/tex]Plug in the respective quantities and solve for the total number of students on the team:
