The ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls in a choir is 5:4. There are 60 girls in the choir. How many boys are in the choir?

• 75

• 61

• 48

• 80

Answer explanation

The ratio of boys to girls is 5:4. With 60 girls, we set up the equation 5x/4x = 60. Solving for x gives x = 12. Therefore, the number of boys is 5x = 5*12 = 75.

On a video game shelf, the ratio of racing games to adventure games is 4:3. There are 36 racing games on the shelf. How many adventure games are on the shelf?

• 48

• 35

• 27

• 63

Answer explanation

The ratio of racing to adventure games is 4:3. With 36 racing games, we set up the proportion: 4/3 = 36/x. Cross-multiplying gives 4x = 108, so x = 27. Thus, there are 27 adventure games on the shelf.

An architect builds a scale model of a building, where 1 inch : 3 feet. The length of the actual model is 28 feet. Which proportion could be used to find x, the length of the model in inches?

Answer explanation

The scale ratio is 1 inch to 3 feet. To find the model length in inches (x) for an actual length of 28 feet, set up the proportion \( \frac{x}{28} = \frac{1}{3} \). This shows that for every 3 feet, there is 1 inch.
