If the ratio of boys to girls at preschool is 5 7 How many children attend if there are 25 boys?

Let B be the number of boys and G be the number of girls at the preschool.

The ratio of boys to girls is given as 5:7, which can be written as:

B/G = 5/7

We are given that there are 25 boys, so B = 25. We can substitute this into the ratio:

25/G = 5/7

To solve for G, we can cross-multiply:

25 * 7 = 5 * G

175 = 5G

G = 175 / 5

G = 35

So there are 35 girls.

The total number of children is the sum of boys and girls:

Total children = B + G = 25 + 35 = 60

Therefore, there are 60 children attending the preschool.

Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{60}$
