You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Ratio of boys to girls is 425:300 --
Now you have to reduce that as much as possible. You can see right off that 25 goes into each.
425 divided by 25: 300 divided by 25
17:12
Are there any common factors of 17 and 12 (excepting 1)?
No. The ratio is correct as stands. 17:12
