What is the ratio of boys to girls in a school where there are 525 girls and 675 boys?

To find the ratio of boys to girls in the school, we need to express the numbers of boys and girls as a fraction and then simplify it.

We have:

So the ratio of boys to girls is:

Ratio = Number of Boys : Number of Girls

This can be written as:

Ratio = 675 : 525

Next, we need to simplify this ratio. To do this, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 675 and 525. The GCD of these two numbers is 75.

Now we can divide both sides of the ratio by the GCD:

675 ÷ 75 = 9

525 ÷ 75 = 7

Thus, the simplified ratio of boys to girls is:

9 : 7

This means that for every 9 boys, there are 7 girls in the school.
