The ratio of girls to boys is 2:1 and that there are 3 boys, what is the number of girls?
2/1 = g/3
Cross multiply and solve for g.

Did you do the ratio?
2/1 = g/3
Cross multiply and solve for g.
What is the answer to Damon's question?
The point is that simply giving you the answer would not serve any purpose.
Ok, suppose you had $3.00 (or 3 boys),
and your friend had twice as much, (the ratio of 2 : 1) , how much would your friend have ??
What is twice three?
Do it with pennies or something on your desk.
To find the number of girls, we need to use the given ratio of girls to boys, which is 2:1.
Let's set up a proportion:
2 girls / 1 boy = x girls / 3 boys
To solve for x, we cross-multiply and solve for x:
2 girls * 3 boys = 1 boy * x girls
6 girls = x girls
Therefore, the number of girls is 6.
