Mrs. Fowler has 28 students in her class, and 16 of them are boys.

What is the ratio of girls to boys?

A.

4 : 3

B.

3 : 4

C.

4 : 11

D.

3 : 11

We subtract 28 - 16 and get the number of girls

so lets do that

28 - 16 = 12

now we know the unsimplified ratio os 12 to 16

simplifed girls 12 : 4 = 3

simplified boys 16 : 4 = 4

since it says (girls to boys) we put girls first then boys

so it would become 3 : 4

Or the answer is B.) 3 : 4
