Every 100 Indian boys... What it's saying?

[all potted out]

"For every 100 Indian boys that attend school, approximately 60-65 Indian girls attend."

I don't understand the whole sentence. Can anybody tell me what it's saying?

Hi all potted

It is a question of percentage or ratio. If there are a 100 boys then there are also about 60 - 65 girls attending the same school a ratio of 5/3. It gives you an overall idea but may not be exact i.e. there maybe 250 boys but the ratio wouls stay about the same.

Hope it helps!
