The ratio of the number of boys to girls in a school of 102 students is 9:8. How many more girls should be admitted to make the ratio of boys to girls 1:2?
60
Divide the 102 students in the ratio 9 : 8. Total parts = 9 + 8 = 17, so one part = \(\frac{102}{17} = 6\).
Boys = 9 × 6 = 54 and girls = 8 × 6 = 48.
Only girls are admitted, so the boys stay 54. For boys : girls = 1 : 2, the girls must be 2 × 54 = 108.
Girls to be admitted = 108 – 48 = 60.
Check: after admission there are 54 boys and 48 + 60 = 108 girls, and 54 : 108 = 1 : 2; originally 54 + 48 = 102 and 54 : 48 = 9 : 8.
Hence, 60.
