fifteen out of 25 students in Mrs. Smith's class are boys. what is the ratio of boys to girls?

i put 1 to 6. is that right?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Nope.

25 - 15 = 10

15/10 = 3 to 2

There are 15 boys. Out of 25 students, that means there are 10 girls. Reduce 15/10 for your answer.

15/25= 25-15= 10 girls
> 10:15
15/25= 25-10= 15 boys

10 divided by 5 = 2
15 divided by 5 = 3

the answer is 2:3

I think...

No, Raluca, it's 3:2.
Answered by Ms. Sue
The problem states that there are more boys to girls. The student is to find the ratio of BOYS to GIRLS.

Raluca got it backwards. There are 3 boys for every 2 girls.
