In a certain classroom, the ratio of boys to girls is 2 to 1. If there are 39 students in the classroom, how many are boys?

Respuesta :

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the total by the number it's split into. 2+1=3, so 39÷3=13. Since the ratio is 2 to 1, the 13 represents the 1. 13×2=26, so the actual amount each is 26:13. Which means that there are 26 boys.
