2) There are 40 boys and 60 girls in a class of students. What is the ratio of girls to students

60:100, 6/10, 3/5, 6 to 10, etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

You take the number of girls over total students which is boys + girls. Since there's 40 boys and 60 girls, it's 60 girls to 100 students which can be written in several ways.

60:100 / 3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

You first add the total number of students which is (40boys + 60girls) which gives us 100 students.

Then arrange the ratio of girls to students as per the question that is 60:100, reduce it to its lowest term that is dividing the ratio by 20, and finally got 3:5
