Question

There are ‘b’ boys and ‘g’ girls in a class. The ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students in the class is:

(A) b/(b + g) (B) g/(b + g) (C) b/g (D) (b + g)/b

Answer 1

(A) b/(b + g)

From the question,

Number of boys in the class = b

Number of girls in the class = g

Total number of students in the class = b + g

Therefore, The ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students in the class

= b/(b + g)
