<PRE><B>Question 94239</B>
The ratio of boys to girls is 6:7 in high school. If there are 1,352 students, how many are girls and how many are boys in this high school? 
---------------
6:7 is the same as 6x:7x where 6x is the # of boys and 7x is the # of girls.
--------------
EQUATION:
6x + 7x = 1352
13x = 1352
x = 104
6x = 624 is the # of boys
7x= 728 is the # of girls.
