The ratio of girls to boys riding a bus is 15:12. If the driver drops off the same number of girls as boys at the next stop, does the ratio of girls to boys remain 15:12? Explain

No it will not. For the ratio of girls to boys to remain 15:12, the ratio of girls to boys that exit at the next stop must also be 15:12.
