the ratio of boys to girls is 8:7 if there are a total of 195 campers how many boys are there and how many girls

the number of Boys = 104

and the number of Girls = 91

Step-by-step explanation:

given;

ratio of boys to girls is 8:7

if there are a total of 195 campers

find:

how many boys are there and how many girls

B + G = 195 equation 1

use the ratio and proportion

  8   =    7    

  B        G

7B = 8G

B = 8G / 7 ---substitute into the equation 1

B + G = 195

8G + G = 195

7

15 G = 195

  7

15 G = 195(7)

15 G = 1365

G = 1365 / 15

G = 91

solve for the number of Boys

B = 8G / 7

B = 8(91) / 7

B = 104

therefore,

the number of Boys = 104

and the number of Girls = 91
