0.6666 : 1.

Explanation:

We have been given that in Priya's math class there are 10 boys and 15 girls.

The ratio of boys to girls in Priya's math class would be:
`\frac{\text{Number of boys}}{\text{Number of girls}}=(10)/(15)`

`\frac{\text{Number of boys}}{\text{Number of girls}}=(2*5)/(3*5)`

`\frac{\text{Number of boys}}{\text{Number of girls}}=(2)/(3)`

`\frac{\text{Number of boys}}{\text{Number of girls}}=0.6666`

Therefore, the ratio of boys to girls in Priya's math class 0.6666:1.
