The simplified ratio of girls to students is 3 to 4 because you divide 12 and 16 by 2 and get 6 and 8 then you divide again by 2 then you get 3 and 4 and that’s your Answer

Answer:

Ratio of girls to students = 4 : 7

Explanation:

Number of boys= 12

Number of girls= 16

Total number of students= 12+16= 28

Number of girls to number of students=
(16)/(28) =
(4)/(7)

Ratio of girls to students = 4:7

Hope this helps.
