    J=15b/10g

    S=21b/g w / the ratio 3/2 (15/10=3/2)

    1) Form an equation (21/g=3/2).

    2) Since you are trying to find the denominator, multiply 3/2 so that the numerators are the same (3*7=21 2*7=14).

    3) The answer will be whatever the denominator is at the end.

    The answer is there are 14 girls in Steven's class.
