Answer: It should be 14 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
35/5=7
2*7=14
The ratio in which girls and children are born is 2 to 5, then the number of girls born is 10
Solution:
Given that the ratio of girls and children is = 2 : 5
Let the number of girls born be "2x" and number of children born be "5x"
Given that 35 are born, So total born = 35
Hence we get,
2x + 5x = 35
7x = 35
x = 5
So number of girls born is:
[tex]2 \times 5 = 10[/tex]
Hence number of girls born is 10
