Practicing Success
In a school there are total 414 students. The ratio of boys and girls is 5 : 4. If 46 more boys gets admitted into the school, then what will be the new ratio of boys and girls? |
3 : 1 4 : 3 5 : 2 3 : 2 |
3 : 2 |
Boys : Girls 5 : 4 ⇒ (5 + 4) units = 414 ⇒ 9 units = 414 ⇒ 1 unit = 46 ⇒ Boys = 5 x 46 = 230 ⇒ Girls = 4 x 46 = 184 ⇒ 46 Boys admitted to the school = 230 + 46 = 276 ⇒ New Ratio of Boys and Girl = 276 : 184 = 3 : 2. |
