There are 180 students in a class. Number of girls are 75. Find the ratio of the girls to the number of boys.

Verified Answer

Total number of students = 180
Number of girls = 75
Number of boys = 180 − 75 = 105

∴ Ratio of number of girls to the number of boys
= 75 / 105
= (75 ÷ 15) / (105 ÷ 15)
= 5 / 7

Required ratio = 5 : 7
