The ratio of number a to number b is equal to:


(a)/(b)

So, the ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls is:


(15)/(12)

Now, we can divide both numbers by a common factor and get an equivalent ratio as:


(15)/(12)=\frac{\text{ 15/3}}{12\text{ / 3}}=(5)/(4)

Therefore, the ratio is 5/4

Answer: 5/4
