Answer:

5 girls to 3 boys

Explanation:

Ratios can be written as:

a/b

a:b

a to b

We want to write the ratio of girls to boys in the Chess club. Therefore, "a" is girls and "b" is boys.

girls/boys

girls:boys

girls to boys

There are 30 girls and 18 boys.

30/18

30:18

30 to 18

The ratio can be simplified. Both 30 and 18 can be divided by 6.

(30/6) / (18/6)=5/3

(30/6) : (18/6)= 5:3

30/6 to 18/6= 5 to 3
