Answer: If your doing the ratio of boys to girls, it would be 6:14. Simplified- 3:7

Explanation:

The factors of 6-1,2,3,6

The factors of 14-1,2,12,14

The common factor of the two #’s is 2 so you would divide both of them by that number. 3 and 7 are prime numbers so you can’t simplify the ratio anymore.
