Answer 1

Rita's class has 14 girls and 16 boys.

Number of girls = 14

Number of boys = 16

Total number of students = Number of girls + Number of boys

Total number of students = 14 + 16

Total number of students = 0

Ratio of boys o girls :

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Ratio of boys to girls =}\frac{Number\text{ of boys}}{Number\text{ of girls}} \\ \text{ Ratio of boys to girls =}(16)/(14) \\ \text{ Ratio of boys to girls }=16\text{ to 14} \end{gathered}`

Ratio of boys to girls : 16 to 14

Ratio of boys to the total number of students :

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Ratio of boys to the total number of students = }\frac{Number\text{ of boys}}{Total\text{ number of students}} \\ \text{ Ratio of boys to the total number of students =}(16)/(30) \end{gathered}`

Ratio of boys to the total number of students : 16/30

Ratio of girls to the total number of students :

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Ratio of girls to the total number of students = }\frac{Number\text{ of Girls}}{Total\text{ number of students}} \\ \text{ Ratio of girls to the total number of students =}(14)/(30) \\ \text{Ratio of girls to the total number of students =14 to 30} \end{gathered}`

Ratio of girls to the total number of students is 14 to 30

Answer :

Ratio of boys to girls : 16 to 14

Ratio of boys to the total number of students : 16/30

Ratio of girls to the total number of students is 14 to 30
