The top number (01:20:19) does not have anything to do with the question

ok so there are 5 boys and 10 girls, so first we need to find the total.To do so, just add those two numbers together. So, what is 10+5?

so it is 1/3, correct?

mxddi3 · Answer

thats not it....

ok so there are 15 total, and of those 15, 5 are boys, so we have 5/15 as the ratio of boys to the total. But, that isnt an answer bc it can be simplified. What is 5/15 simplified down to?
