Juan's class has 10 girls and 15 boys. the ratio fo girl to boys in Steven's class is the same as the ratio of girl to boys in Juan's class.How many girls are in Steven's class. Picture/diagram of my composed solution.
We know that the ratio is 1:1.5 with a total of 14 girls in Steven's class but how do I show is in a Picture/diagram?

To show the solution in a picture/diagram, you can use a bar chart to visually represent the number of girls and boys in Juan's and Steven's classes.
First, draw two vertical bars representing Juan's and Steven's classes. Label each bar accordingly.
Next, divide Juan's bar into two sections: one for girls and one for boys. The length of each section should represent the number of girls and boys in Juan's class.
For example:
Juan's class:
Girls: ||||||||||
Boys: ||||||||||||||||
The length of the girls' section on Juan's bar represents 10, and the length of the boys' section represents 15.
Now, since the ratio of girls to boys in Juan's class is 1:1.5, you need to calculate the number of girls in Steven's class.
To do that, you can use cross-multiplication. Multiply the number of boys in Juan's class (15) by the ratio (1.5) to find the number of girls in Steven's class.
15 * 1.5 = 22.5
Since you cannot have a fraction of a person, round the result to the nearest whole number. In this case, the number of girls in Steven's class is 23.
So, on the bar chart, divide Steven's bar into girls and boys sections. The girls' section should have a length of 23, and the boys' section should have a length of 15.
Steven's class:
Girls: ||||||||||||||||||||
Boys: ||||||||||||||||
This visualization shows that Steven's class has 23 girls.
