A ratio is something in math that is used to compare two things. In this question, we can use a ration to compare the boys to total number of students in the class.

Add to find total number of students: 4 + 10 = 14

Now put into a ratio: 4:14

Simplify the ratio by diving with common factors.

4/2:14/2 → 2:7

Final answer ~ 2:7 or 2/7

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

Answer: 2 : 7

Explanation:

Number of boys = 4

Number of girls = 10

Total number of students = total number of boys + total number of girls ,that is

Total number of students = 4 + 10

= 14

Therefore , the ratio in the simplest form that compares number of boys to total number of students is given by

number of boys : total number of students , that is

4 : 14

which will be

2 : 7 in the simplest form
