Two different schools (a and b) have the same number of pupils. the ratio of the boys in school a and the boys in school b is 2: 1 and the ratio of the girls in school a and the girls in school b is 4: 5. find the ratio of the boys in school a to the girls in school a.

A to B = A/B

This means A = 2 and B = 1 in terms of the boys.

A to B = A/B

This means A = 4 and B = 5 in terms of girls.

Let R = ratio of boys in school A to the girls in school A.

R = A to A

R = A/A

R = 2/4

R = 1/2
