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
