Question 771889: I am trying to take a HESI entrance exam for nursing....I want to make sure I have the ratio equations down. If there are 9 girls out of every 10 students, then how many girls are there in a class of 175? I came up with x=157.5 Is that correct? Could you also please show me how to put it into a percent. Thanks
