Solution

Given, number of girls = 20

Number of boys = 15

Total number of students = Girls + Boys = 15 + 20 = 35

The ratio of number of girls to total students

= $\frac{N u m b e r o f g i r l s}{T o t a l n u m b e r o f s t u d e n t s}$

= $\frac{20}{20 + 15} = \frac{20}{35} = \frac{4}{7} = 4 : 7$
