Please help me out! Help me please! This is so important! The ratio of girls to boys in a primary school is 4:5. If there are 24 girls, how many boys are there? Help!

A ratio of 4:5 means that for every 4 girls, there are 5 boys.

24 girls / 4 girls = 6

5 * 6 = 30 boys

There are 30 boys if there are 24 girls

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
