Question -:

The ratio of boys and girls in a classroom is 2 : 3 respectively. If the total number of children is 20. How many boys are there in the class ?

Explanation -:

In this question we are provided with the ratio of boys isto girls that is 2 : 3 it is also given that total number of children are 20. We are asked to calculate number of boys.

[tex] \green{ \small \pmb{\tt{ First \: we \: will \: form \: an \: equation }}}[/tex]

Let us assume the number of girls as 3x and number of boys as 2x.

Total number of children = 20

3x + 2x = 20

[tex] \orange{\small \pmb{\tt{ Now \: we \: will \: solve \: this \: equation }}}[/tex]

[tex] \small\frak{ 3x + 2x = 20}[/tex]

[tex] \small\frak{ 5x = 20}[/tex]

[tex] \small\frak{ x = \dfrac{20}{5} = 4}[/tex]

[tex] \small \underline{ \boxed{\pmb{x = 4} }} \large \: \star[/tex]

Boys = 2 × 4 = 8

Girls = 3 × 4 = 12

  • Hence 8 boys and 12 girls are there in the classroom.
