the ratio 6/5 means for every 6 boys there are 5 girls.

Add the ratio: 6+5 = 11

Divide class total by 11: 22/11 = 2

Multiply each ratio number by 2 to find the number of boys and the number of girls:

6 x 2 = 12 boys

5 x 2 = 10 girls.


10 out of the 22 kids are girls.


The probability of picking a girl would be 10/22, which reduces to 5/11
