Step-by-step explanation:
Ratios can be written as:
a to b
a:b
a/b
We want to find boys to girls, and there are 24 boys and 12 girls. So, we can write it as
24 to 12
24:12
24:2
All of these can be reduced, since both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 12.
Numerator: 24/12=2
Denominator: 12/12=1
2 to 1
2:1
2/1
