Answer:

The answer is A. Jeff found the ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students. He needed to first find that there are 14 girls to get a ratio of 10: 14 or 5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

Process of elimination

What was wrong with b was that the ratio is girls then boys his teacher asked him for boys to girls

C what was wrong with c is it was whole to part and the teacher asked for part to part

D it is just plain wrong when you add the number it doesn’t even add up to 24 its 17.
