Answer 1

Mrs. Henderson's class has the greater ratio of boys to students.

Explanation:

Mrs. Henderson has 16 boys in her class of 24 students.

The ratio of boys to students,

16:24 = 2:3 = 0.67

Mr. Gregory has 18 boys in his class of 30 students.

The ratio of boys to students,

18:30 = 3:5 = 0.6

Therefore, Mrs. Henderson's class has better ratio.
