The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:5. What does this mean?

This means that for every 3 boys in the class, there are 5 girls. The ratio of 3:5 represents the proportional relationship between the number of boys and girls in the class, where the total number of parts is 8 (3 parts boys and 5 parts girls).

If there are 30 boys in the class, how many girls are there?

Without knowing the total number of students in the class, it is not possible to determine the number of girls based solely on the number of boys. If we are assuming a 1:1 ratio of boys to girls, then the number of girls in the class would be equal to the number of boys, so if there are 30 boys, there would be 30 girls as well.

The ratio of apples to oranges in a basket is 2:3. If there are 12 apples, how many oranges are there?

If the ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3 and there are 12 apples, this means that there are 2 parts of apples for every 3 parts of oranges. Therefore, the number of parts for oranges is 3 (since 2 + 3 = 5 parts). To find the number of oranges, we can set up a proportion: 12 apples corresponds to 2 parts, so x oranges would correspond to 3 parts, giving us the equation: 12/2 = x/3. Solving for x, we get x = (12*3) / 2 = 18 oranges.

The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a jar is 4:7. If there are 28 blue marbles, how many red marbles are there?

There are 16 red marbles in the jar. This can be calculated by setting up the ratio as 4:7 for red to blue marbles. Since there are 28 blue marbles, we divide 28 by 7 to find the multiplier for the ratio (4 red marbles in the ratio represent 28 blue marbles). The multiplier is 4, so we multiply 4 by 4 to find that there are 16 red marbles in the jar.

The ratio of successful free throws to missed free throws in a basketball game is 2:1. If there were 12 missed free throws, how many successful free throws were there?

If the ratio of successful free throws to missed free throws is 2:1 and there were 12 missed free throws, then the number of successful free throws would be 2 times the number of missed free throws, which is 2 * 12 = 24 successful free throws.

A car travels 240 miles in 4 hours. What is its speed in miles per hour?

The speed of the car is 60 miles per hour, calculated by dividing the total distance traveled (240 miles) by the total time taken (4 hours).

A recipe requires a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 2 cups of sugar. If you have 9 cups of sugar, how much flour do you need?

You would need 13.5 cups of flour. This is calculated by multiplying the given amount of sugar (9 cups) by the ratio of flour to sugar (3/2 = 1.5), resulting in 13.5 cups of flour needed to maintain the ratio.

In a race, a runner covers 120 meters in 15 seconds. What is the runner's speed in meters per second?

The runner's speed is 8 meters per second. This is calculated by dividing the distance covered (120 meters) by the time it took to cover that distance (15 seconds), which equals 8 meters per second.

A tree grows 4 inches every year. How many inches will it grow in 7 years?

In 7 years, the tree will grow a total of 28 inches (4 inches per year x 7 years = 28 inches).

A school opts for a student-teacher ratio of 20:1. If there are 400 students, how many teachers are needed?

To calculate the number of teachers needed for 400 students with a student-teacher ratio of 20:1, you would divide the total number of students by the ratio. Therefore, 400 students divided by the ratio of 20 students per teacher equals 20 teachers needed to maintain the desired student-teacher ratio.
