Please help me with 9 I really need it

605 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of boys to girls is 5:7

and there are 847 girls

we can plug this value into the ratio by doing something like:

5:7

= 5/7

= x/847

Because the ratio has to be the same, we can substitute x for the number of boys and solve by the cross method or whatever you guys call it.

5            x

---   x    

7          847

The x in the middle is just to show the direction you are multiplying.

the 5 is multiplied by the 847 and the 7 is multiplied by x.

847 * 5 = 4,235

4,235  divided by 7 is 605

605 is your answer.

The cross method can be used in most situations.

* is used to represent multiplication btw
