40% of the 25 students in the class are boys. Write 40% as a fraction? Then find the ratio of girls to boys in the class.

10 of the students are boys the ratio would be 10:15?
would 40% as a fraction be 4/10??

Those answers are correct.

Your teacher may want you to simplify them.

10:15 = 2:3
4/10 = 2/5
