RATIO 2 TO 3 OUT OF 30

Hmm!  There are more girtls than boys.

 

boys/girls = 2/3  

 

Split the 30 into 5 parts (2 + 3 = 5)   to get 6 students per part

 

Two parts are boys:  2*6 = 12

Three parts are girls:  3*6 = 18

 

i.e.  There are 12 boys and 18 girls.

So if we have 30 students, and 2:3 ratio of boys to girls, there are more boys than girls. If we multiply each by 10, we will find our answer: 2*10:3*10 = 20:30.

So we have 20 Boys, and 10 Girls. Alright boys settle down, there aren't enough girls to go around. XDD

If the ratio is 2:3     2 out of 5 are boys     3 out of 5 are girls

2/5 x 30 = 12 boys

3/5 x 30 = 18 are girls
