Find the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls to the total number of children (always in the simplest form).

Ratio of number of boys to girls= 2:3

Ratio of number of boys to girls to total number of children= 2:3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

42 boys and 63 girls took part in an art competition

The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls can be calculated as follows

= 42/63

= 2:3

The ratio of the number of boys to girls to total number of children can be calculated as follows

= 42/63/105

= 2:3:5

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

the answer is 8.64
