Question #11635

Answer 1

See explanantion

Explanation:

Let the count of boys be `b=32`
Let the count of girls be `g=40`

In fractional format the ratio is:

`("girls")/("total")->g/(g+b)=32/(32+40)=32/72`

`=(32-:2)/(72-:2) = (16-:2)/(36-:2)=(8-:2)/(18-:2)=4/9`

In what I call clock form the ratio is

`"girls : total " = " "4:9`
