Answer:
40% are boys
Step-by-step explanation:
sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 3 = 5 parts
Divide number in class by 5 to find value of one part of ratio
30 ÷ 5 = 6 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, then
2 parts = 2 × 6 = 12 ← number of boys in class
percentage = [tex]\frac{boys}{total}[/tex] × 100%
= [tex]\frac{12}{30}[/tex] × 100%
= 0.4 × 100% = 40%
Answer:
40% simplify the fraction then divide (boys/total) then multiply by 100
Step-by-step explanation: 2+3 = 5 is the distributer then : 30/5 = 6 then if 2 are boys 2 x 6 = 12 is the amount of boys 12/30 = 2/5 simplified and then x 100 to fraction's to find percentage 2/5 x 100 = 40%
