Options

There are ‘b’ boys and ‘g’ girls in a class. The ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students in the class is `b/(b + g)`.
Explanation:
Given, Number of boys in the class = b and number of girls in the class = g

Ratio of boys to the total number of students = b:b + g
`b/(b + g)`
