The ratio of girls to boys is 3:4.
=
we know
c = g + b
:
Choose a total, the Least common multiple of (3+8),11; and (3+4),7
LCM = 77
then
a + c = 77
= therefore dividing 77 by 11 is 7, so we have:
3*7 = 21 adults
and
8*7 = 56 children
then we know
g + b = 56
= therefore dividing 56 by 7 is 8, so we have
3*8 = 24 girls
4*8 = 32 boys
:
therefore adults to girls:
= reduces to is the ratio of adults to girls
