Answer:
168
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum the parts of the ratio, 6 + 7 = 13 parts
Divide the total number of students by 13 to find the value of one part of the ratio.
364 ÷ 13 = 28 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus
number of girls = 6 × 28 = 168
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio is 6:7 the students should divide nicely into 6+7=13 parts. Six of those parts are girls, seven of those parts are boys.
364 / 13 = 28
So 6 × 28 = 168 girls
Answer: 168
Check:
7 × 28 = 196 boys
168 + 196 = 364, good
