  • ratio problems can be expressed as 3 options
    • 1. boys to girls or girls to boys
    • 2. boys to total (boys + girls)
    • 3. girls to total (boys + girls)
    • Example: ratio of boys to girls is 2:7 and total students is 180. How many boys are there? So the ratio is 2:9 that is 2 boys for every 9 students, (2/9)*180 = 40 boys. How many girls are there? So the ratio is 7 girls for every 9 students, (7/9)*180 = 140 girls. So, the trick is to find ratio of boys to all students (2/9) and ratio of girls to all students (7/9), instead of using the supplied ratio boys to girls (2:9).
