Answer:

2:3

Explanation:

There were 300 children in total. Of those 300, 120 are boys. To find out the number of girls, subtract 120 from 300 to get 180.

300 - 120 = 180 girls

Total: 300 || Boys: 120 || Girls: 180

Next, simply imput the numbers into your ratio.

120:180

Then, to get the shortest answer, simplify the two numbers by dividing them.

2 : 3
