To find out if the ratio of girls to boys is 5 to 6, you need to perform a comparison between the number of girls and boys for each option.

Let's analyze each option:

A. 24 girls 20 boys:
To calculate the ratio, we divide the number of girls by the number of boys: 24/20 = 1.2. This ratio is not equal to 5/6. Therefore, option A is not correct.

B. 50 girls 56 boys:
Again, we calculate the ratio: 50/56 = 0.89, which is also not equal to 5/6. So, option B is not correct.

C. 60 girls 50 boys:
Ratio calculation: 60/50 = 1.2. This time, the ratio matches 5/6. Therefore, option C is a possible answer.

D. 20 girls 24 boys:
Ratio calculation: 20/24 = 0.83, which does not match the ratio 5/6. Consequently, option D is not correct.

Based on the analysis above, the correct answer would be option C, where there are 60 girls and 50 boys on the track team.

100 girls and 144 boys
