The ratio of boys to girls in the 7th grade at GACA is 2 to 4. If there were 850 kids in the 7th grade, how many would you expect to be girls? Round to the nearest whole number.
A. 213 girls out of 850 kids
B. 425 girls out of 850 kids
C. 567 girls out of 850 kids
D. 607 girls out of 850 kids
The ratio of boys to girls is 2 to 4, which can be simplified to 1 to 2. Since there are 850 kids in total, the number of girls would be 2/3 of 850.
Number of girls = (2/3) * 850 = 567
Therefore, the expected number of girls would be 567 out of 850 kids.
So the answer is C. 567 girls out of 850 kids.
