Question

There are 25 students in Mrs. Hawkins' class. 12 of them are girls. What is the ratio of boys to girls in her class? A) 13:12 B) 12:13 C) 1:2 D) 2:1

Answer 1

Answer: A) 13:12

(25 - 12 = 13)

(total of 25 - number of girls 12 = number of boyz 13)

13 represent boys in her class while 12 are girls. And since we're asked to find a ratio of BOYS to GIRLS, you'll put it like:

13(BOYS):12(GIRLS)
