Answer: The number of girls= 20 and the number of boys=30
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The ratio of girls to boys on a soccer team is 2 to 3.
=2:3
Let the number of girls be 2x
and total students will be 2x+3x=5x
Total number of players=25
[tex]\Rightarrow5x=25\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{25}{5}\\\Rightarrow\ x=5[/tex]
then number of girls= 2x= 2 × 10=20
and the number of boys=3x=3 × 10=30
