Question
64 students of Class 10 took part in a mathematics quiz.
If the number of girls was 16 more than the number of boys. then find the ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students who took part in the quiz.Solution
Let the number of boys be x, then, the number of girls be x +16. Now, according to question: x+x+16= 64 2x=64-16 Â x = 48/2=24 Hence, the number of boys x = 24 and The number of total students who took part in quiz = 64 Hence, the required ratio = 24: 64 = 3:8
