There are 15 students on the bus and 10 are girls.

Then the boys on the bus are


15-10=5

So there are 5 boys and 10 girls on the bus.

The ratio of boys to girls is


\frac{\text{boys}}{\text{girls}}=(5)/(10)=(1)/(2)

Therefore, the ratio of boys to girls is 1/2

This means that the boys are one-half as compared to the girls.
