Question

Select all that apply. There are 11 boys and 15 girls in a class. Which of the following show the ratio of girls to boys? 15.15​

Answer 1

11:15

Explanation:

Finding a ratio is very simple, all you have to do is take the first number, put a :, and then put the second number.

The : can also be replaced with a . or / so the answer to this question might also be seen as:

11/15

11.15

Answer 2

15:11

Explanation:

well, girls to boys would be 15 to 11 because there are 15 girls and 11 boys. it cant be simplified further, so its 15:11

edit: I've noticed that it sounds like I'm saying girls is first because there are more, but it's because the question asks for girls to boys, not because there are more girls
