Out of 18 students at dance camp, 6 are boys. What is the ratio of girls to students at the dance camp, in simplest form.
If 6 are boys, then the other 12 are girls, so
12/18 = ...
Is 6 the answer
2/3
To find the ratio of girls to students at the dance camp, we need to first determine the number of girls at the camp.
We can find the number of girls by subtracting the number of boys from the total number of students:
18 students - 6 boys = 12 girls
Therefore, there are 12 girls at the dance camp.
To simplify the ratio of girls to students, we divide the number of girls by the total number of students:
12 girls / 18 students
Now, we simplify this fraction:
12 ÷ 6 = 2
18 ÷ 6 = 3
Therefore, the simplified ratio is 2:3.
