A middle school has a speech club with a total of 18 students. The ratio of girls to boys is 4:5. How many girls are in the speech club? How many boys are in the speech club? Justify your answers.

Respuesta :

18 kids total.
4 : 5
4+5=9
18 divided by 9 = 2
Each unit = 2
4 times 2 = 8, so there are 8 girls
5 times 2 = 10, so there are 10 boys.
