Answer:
150 are girls.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is an important difference between the way counts are viewed in ratio to that in fractions.
The ratio of boys : girls
4:5
so you have 4 boys and 5 girls making the whole count in its simplest form.
4+5=9
So to change the ratio proportion into fraction proportion we have:
Boys: 4/9
Girls: 5/9
It is given that the whole is 270 therefore the count of girls is:
5/9 x 270 = 150
