If i gave you the ratio of 15: 24 and told you that it had to do with the number of students in a class, what are 2 different possibilities for what 15 and 24 could represent?

15:24 could represent how many 11 year olds are in the class over all.

Or it could represent how many girls are in the class over all.

answer is x<

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
