The ratio of the number of the number of boys to the number of girls in a choir is 5 to 4. There are 100 girls in the choir. How many boys are in the choir? By the way it's not 75 I got that one wrong
Given ratio of boys to girls is 5:4
So if boys are 5x, then girls are 4x
Here, girls are 100
Thus, 4x = 100
Value of x = 25
Hence, boys are 5 times x or 125
