There are two more baby girls than boys in the nursery room in a hospital. If there are 14 babies in all, find the ratio of baby girls to boys. Express your answer in lowest terms.

Sagot :

i think it's 9:5 maybe i'm wrong
 sorry

Boys: x
Girls: x + 2

Equation:
(x) + (x+2) = 14
2x + 2 = 14
2x = 14-2
2x = 12
2x/2 = 12/2
x = 6

Number of Babies per gender:
Boys: x = 6
Girls: 6 + 2 = 8
6 + 8 = 14

There are 8 girls to 6 boys.  The ratio of girls to boys is 8:6.  In lowest term, 4:3.

ANSWER:  4 : 3
