Given:

The number of boys is 17.

The number of girls is 18.

The ratio of a to b is represented as a:b.

So, the ratio of girls to all children is,


\begin{gathered} \text{ All Childrens=17+18=35},\text{ Number of girls=18} \\ a\colon b=18\colon35 \end{gathered}

Answer: the ratio of girls to all children is 18:35
