Given:
The ratio of boys to girls is [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex].
Number of boys = 24
To find:
The number of girls.
Solution:
We have,
Boys: Girls = 4:5
Let the number of boys be 4x and number of girls be 5x.
[tex]4x=24[/tex]
[tex]x=\dfrac{24}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=6[/tex]
Now,
Number of girls = [tex]5x[/tex]
= [tex]5(6)[/tex]
= [tex]30[/tex]
Therefore, the number of girls is 30.
