One math class has a greater number of students than the other. However,
both classes have a ratio of 5 boys to 6 girls. How is this possible? Give an example.
The classes could each have proportions of 5 boys to 6 girls, but they don’t necessarily have to be exactly 5 to 6. The number could 5 to 6 for one class, but it could also be 10 to 12 for another class, since 10 to 12 is a scale factor of 5 to 6.
