The ratio of boys to girls is #6:5# or #6/5#

Explanation:

A ratio compares one amount to another, in this case boys to girls. To set up your ratio, write the number of boys to girls as a fraction

#(boys)/(girls)=30/25#

and simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor:

#(30-:5)/(25-:5)=6/5#

So your ratio is #6/5# or written in ratio format #6:5#
