Default New to Livebearers

My daughter just got 4 platys (2 male 2 female). Two days after they were put into the tank we noticed one (maybe 2) small platy babies. These have since been eaten. Since we are new to this we have some questions:

1. Is the male/female ratio ok? We did not specify at the LFS it just turned out that way.

2. How often do they breed?

3. How many fry usually?

4. What temp and water quality?

5. What food to induce breeding (if any) and what to feed the fry?

Thanks to all of you in advance.
