The ratio of boys to girls in the science club is 3: 5. if there are 60 girls, how many boys are there?

36

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5 part of the ratio represents 60 girls.

Divide 60 by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio

60 ÷ 5 = 12 ← value of 1 part of the ratio

The 3 part of the ratio represents the number of boys, hence

3 × 12 = 36 ← number of boys

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
