The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 7 to 3. Among the options below, an acceptable value for the total number of students in the class is:
The ratio of boys to girls in the class is given as 7:3. To determine the number of boys and girls in the class, the ratios need to be converted into integers. Since the total ratio is 10 (7 boys + 3 girls), the ratio of boys in the class should be an integer, as should the ratio of girls.
From the options provided, only option 50 satisfies this condition:
35 boys and 15 girls, which simplifies to the ratio 7:3.
Hence, the correct answer is (C).
