To compare the number of girls to the number of boys using a ratio, we simply divide the number of girls by the number of boys.
Therefore, the ratio of girls to boys is 12/14.
To express this ratio in the lowest terms, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
Dividing 12 by 2 results in 6, and dividing 14 by 2 results in 7.
Therefore, the ratio of girls to boys in lowest terms is 6/7.
