girls?

Respuesta :

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

3 counselors for every 20 girls

Answer:

15 counselors

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of counselors to girls is 6:40. Set this as a proportion:

[tex]\frac{6}{40}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

Cross multiply to solve: 6×100=40x

600=40x

x=15

To satisfy the ratio, there needs to be 15 counselors for 100 girls.
