Emily’s mom is buying party favors for her birthday party. There are 16 kids coming altogether. If there are 10 girls coming, what is the ratio of boys to girls that will be at the party?(1 point) Responses 3:5 ratio of 3 to 5 10:6 ratio of 10 to 6 5:3 ratio of 5 to 3 10:16
The ratio of boys to girls that will be at the party is 10:6, or simplified, 5:3.
To determine the ratio of boys to girls at the party, we need to first find the number of boys attending the party. To do this, we subtract the number of girls from the total number of kids.
Total number of kids = number of girls + number of boys
16 = 10 + number of boys
Subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation:
number of boys = 16 - 10
number of boys = 6
Therefore, there are 6 boys attending the party. Now we can calculate the ratio of boys to girls:
boys : girls = 6 : 10
Simplifying the ratio by dividing both sides by 2 (to get the simplest form):
boys : girls = 3 : 5
So, the ratio of boys to girls that will be at the party is 3:5.
To find the ratio of boys to girls at the party, we first need to calculate the number of boys attending.
Given that there are 16 kids coming in total, and 10 of them are girls, we can subtract the number of girls from the total to find the number of boys:
16 total kids - 10 girls = 6 boys.
Therefore, there are 6 boys at the party.
Now we can determine the ratio of boys to girls:
Number of boys : Number of girls = 6 boys : 10 girls.
Simplifying this ratio, we divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
6 boys ÷ 2 : 10 girls ÷ 2 = 3 boys : 5 girls.
Thus, the ratio of boys to girls at the party is 3:5.
