There are 48 girls in a large cheerleading squad. The ratio of girls to boys in this squad is 8:3. How many boys are in the squad?
There are (48/8)*3=18 boys. Since the ratio of boys to girls is 8:3 you divide the number of girls by 8 which gives 6 and then multiply by 3 to give the number of boys.
