The ratio of girls to boys in a dance club was 5 : 4. There were 48 boys. How many girls were there in the club?

Respuesta :

there were 60 girls because you do cross multiplication (5 x 48 is 240 4 x 60 is 240)
There were 60 girls in the club because if you do 48 divided by 4. It would equal 12 and since the ratio is 5:4. The girls would be 12 x 5 which would be 60 girls. Hope this helps!
