Mrs. Fowler has 28 students in her class, and 16 of them are boys. What is the ratio of girls to boys?

28 students and 16 are boys. So 28-16=# of girls. Then just get the ratio and simplify.

A. 4 : 3 B. 3 : 4 C. 4 : 11 D. 3 : 11

Wellll, 28-16 equals what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

So the ratio is 12 to 16. Now just simplify and then put a : for the "to"
