You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let G be the number of girls and B be the number of boys
\n" ); document.write( "\"TotalStudents+=+Girls+%2B+Boys\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"T+=+G+%2B+B\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are told
\n" ); document.write( "\"G%2F4+=+T%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"G%2F4+=+%28G%2BB%29%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6G+=+4%28G%2BB%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6G+=+4G+%2B+4B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2G+=+4B\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F4+=+B%2FG\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the ratio of boys to girls is \"1 boy for every 2 girls\" or \"1%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
