100

150

180

200


(I believe its 150, but I'm not sure. It'll be awesome if you can explain how to do this also)

Verified Answer :

The ratio is 10 to 18, therefore 10 nr of students = 18 nr of girls.
So the number of girls = nr of students * 10 / 18 which is indeed 150.

Answer:

The answer is 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of girls be = x

Total students in the school = 270

The ratio of girls to students at a middle school is 10 to 18.

Now, we can write the relation as:

\(\frac{10}{18}= \frac{x}{270}\)

\(18x=2700\)

x = 150

So, the total girls are = 150.
