    The ratio is 4:5 meaning out of 9 students 4 are girls and 5 are boys. If there are 36 students, 9 will go into 36 four times so if we multiply each number of the ratio by 4 it gives us the answer.

    4:5

    4x4 = 16

    5x4 = 20

    The ratio is 16:20

    16 girls to 20 boys ... 16 + 20 = 36
