100 babies were born,there were 6 more boys than girls,what is the probability of picking a girl?

Question

At a baby shower,we started discussing baby statistics.One of the women told us she had heard a reports that for every 100 babies born, there were 6 more boys than girls. If we were to randomly pick a child from a reprsntative group,what is the probability of picking a girl?

Answer 1

56 boys and 44 girls

The probability of choosing a girl is 44% or 44/100=0.44

Answer 2

56% PICKING BOYS 56 +44 ----- 100 44% PICKING GIRLS A LESS PROBABILITY OF PICKING GIRLS

Answer 3

there are 53 boys and 47 girls. thats all i can do

Answer 4

if you do guess and check you will find the answer.

in the end you get 47 girls if you add 47+6 you get 53 to check 53+47=100

answer 47/100

Answer 5

Uh, 100:6.... right? You asked that the ratio from boy to girl. I put 100:6 because that makes the most logical sense.
