It's false. Why do you think it's false?

What does a ratio mean?

Could there be 20 boys and 10 girls in the class?

Answer 2

A ratio compares two numbers by using division. I'm confused Ms. Sue, how do i get it?

The ratio means that there are 2 boys to every girl.

2:1 = 4/2 = 6/3 = 8/4 ~~~~20/10

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

True. The ratio of boys to girls in Miss Bennet's class is 2:1, which means that for every 2 boys, there is 1 girl. To determine if this statement is true or false, we need to compare the number of boys and girls. If there are indeed two boys and one girl in Miss Bennet's class, then the statement is true.
