Answer 2

1:3

Explanation:

Given that,

Total no. of boys = 5

Total no. of girls = 10

We need to find the ratio of the number of boys in the club to the total number of students in the club.

Total no. of students = no. of girls + no. of boys

= 5 +10

= 15

Ratio,

`R=(5)/(15)\\\\=(1)/(3)`

Hence, the required ratio is 1/3 or one third.
