Answer:
Girls = 390
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion:
In a sample of 3:2, you have 5 kids in all.
So the the ratio of girls to kids in a sample of 5 is 2:5.
So set up a proportion:
(3/5) = (x/650)
5x = 650(3)
5x = 1950
x = 390
Answer:
- 390
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of boys be b and girls be g. Then we have:
- g/b = 3/2
- g + b = 650
From the first equation b is:
- b = 2g/3
Substitute b in the second equation
- g + 2g/3 = 650
- 5g/3 = 650
- g = 650*3/5
- g = 390
