To find the ratio of total students to boys, first calculate the total number of students in the class.
Total students = Number of girls + Number of boys
Total students = 12 girls + 16 boys = 28 students
Now, the ratio of total students to boys is:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Total students}}{\text{Number of boys}} = \frac{28}{16}
\]
To simplify this ratio, divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 4:
\[
\frac{28 \div 4}{16 \div 4} = \frac{7}{4}
\]
Therefore, the ratio of total students to boys is \(7:4\).
Total students = Number of girls + Number of boys
Total students = 12 girls + 16 boys = 28 students
Now, the ratio of total students to boys is:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Total students}}{\text{Number of boys}} = \frac{28}{16}
\]
To simplify this ratio, divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 4:
\[
\frac{28 \div 4}{16 \div 4} = \frac{7}{4}
\]
Therefore, the ratio of total students to boys is \(7:4\).
