There are 15 boys and 45 girls competing in a race. What is the ratio of girls to boys in the race , lowest terms ?

Work Shown

45 girls : 15 boys

45/15 girls : 15/15 boys divide both parts by 15

3 girls : 1 boy

This tells us there are three times as many girls as there are boys.

We write this as the ratio 3 : 1. The order of the terms is important. We cannot say 1:3 since that would imply there are more boys than girls, but it's the other way around.

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)
