A class of 40 students has 18 boys and 22 girls. What is ratio of girls to boys in the class?
11:9
20:9
9:11
20:11
Correct Answer : A
A ratio is of the form a : b but can also be converted to a fraction of the form a/b, where b is not equal to zero. Besides, to in ration means per in fraction form.
In the class of 40 students, 22 are girls and 18 are boys. Thus, the ratio of girls to boys becomes:
The above fraction can be reduced further since 2 is a common factor in both 22 and 18. Thus
In ratio form, girls: boys=11:9
Thus, the ratio of girls to boys in a class of 40 students is 11 to 9.

The median of a data set is found in two ways:
For an odd data set, the median fall in the (N+1)/2 th position.
For an even data set, the median is the average of the element in the (N/2)th and (N+1)/2 th positions.
To find the median of the given data set, we need to arrange the elements from the smallest to the largest as follows:
12, 12, 16, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 35, 35
There are 11 elements in the data set. 11 is an odd number and the median fall in the (N+1)/2 th position.
Median =(11+1)/2=12/2=6 th position.
From the organized data, the element in the 6th position is 22, which is the required median for the data set.

From the cost of 45 syringes, we are required to find the cost of 5 syringes. We set up a proportion equation by letting the cost of 5 syringes to y. Besides, we let the cost to be numerator and number of syringes to be denominator as follows.
Solve the value of y by cross products
Divide both sides by 45
Therefore, 5 syringes will cost $80.00.

Explanation
Here we need to find the actual values of the additions and see the trend the student will use to estimate the given problem. The exact sum is as follows
35+192227
258+350=608
947+1032=1979
From the above calculations, it is evident that the student rounds up or down the ones place values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 694+7618.
694+7618=8312
We can approximate 8312 based on the provided choices is 8310.
