Answer:

250 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the ratio is 9:10 from girls to boys

Take 225 and divide it by 9

225 ÷ 9 = 25

So we know that 25 is a factor of 225

We can the number of boys and multiply it by 25 to get 250

If we put it in the ratio form:

225:250 = 9/10

Check work:

25 x 9 = 225

25 x 10 = 250
