Mr. Jackson took the 8th grade class on field trip. While taking attendance, he
noticed there were 51 boy and 21 girls on
the trip. Write the ratio of boys to girls, as a
fraction in simplest terms

17/7

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio would be 51/21 then to simplify divide both numbers by 3 to get 17/7

Hi there! :)

Given ratio of 51 boys to 21 girls:

Write as a ratio:

Divide both terms by GCF, or 3:

or

Therefore, the ratio is 17 boys to 7 girls, or  

in the math equation 8 x 7 = 56, the 8 and the 7 are both factors of 56, since in this lesson we will use square tiles to figure out the factors of a whole find as many different arrays as you can, but follow one important rule: all the rows must have the i can make two rows of nine, so 2 and 9 are both factors of 18.
