Question

6 For every 3 girls in Mr Hegarty's class there are 5 boys. What is the ratio of girls to boys in the class? Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

3:5 that is the ratio

Answer 2

The ratio of girls to boys is 3:5

We cannot simplify this further because 3 and 5 have no factors in common, other than 1. So we just leave it as is.
