Step-by-step explanation:

6:7=13

12:14=26

18:21=39

24:28=50

30:35=65

so on

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
