Question

A social awareness camp was organized in the summer vacations this year. 25 girls and 15 boys participate in the camp and put water bowl for birds. 

(i) What is the ratio of number of girls to the number of boys ? 

(ii) What is the ratio of number of girls to the number of participants?

Answer 1

Number of girls = 25 

Number of boys = 15 

Total numbers = 25 + 15 = 40 

(i) The ratio of number of girls to the number of boys 

Required ratio = 25/15 = 5/3 = 5 : 3 

(ii) Required ratio = 25/40 = 5/8 = 5 : 8
