Answer 2

Answer:   4:1

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the boys to the girls can be written as: 64/16 in fraction form

[like how the ratio 1:2 can be written as 1/2]

Now after making it a fraction (64/16) all we have to do is simplify it and the simplest fraction will be our answer.

64/16

=>32/18(numerator and denominator divided by 2)

=>16/4(divided by 2 again)

=>4/1 (simplest form)

The simplest form, 4/1, has to be written as ratio and you'll have ur answer.

4/1=> 4:1
