Answer 2

Answer:

8:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no. of girls be x.

Total no. of students is 65.

Then no. of boys will be 65-x.

There are 15 more boys than girls.

Hence, x+15=65-x

2x=50

x=50/2=25

So no. of girls is 25.

Then no. of boys is 25+15=40.

So, the ratio of boys to girls is 40:25=8:5 (cancel with the common factor 5)
