There are 200 students in the seventh grade. The ratio of girls to boys is 5 to 3. What percent of the students are boys?
A:67%


B:62.5%


C:37.5%


D:40%

Respuesta :

The answer is C 37.5 because when you add the ratio 5+3 = 8 and 200/8=25*3 equals 75/200 = 37.5%
5:3 (girls to boys)
 
5+3 = 8

3/8 (fraction of boys in the 7th grade)

3/8 = 37.5%

The answer is c.
