Answer:

boys : girl

5 : 6

Step-by-step explanation:

boys : girl

480: 576

Divide each side by 96

480/96 : 576/96

5 : 6

Boys = 576

Girl = 480

  • GCF of 576 and 480 is 96.

Now , dividing both numbers by GCF.

[tex] \large\bf{\red{ \longrightarrow}} \tt \: \frac{ \cancel{480} \: ^{5} }{ \cancel{576} \: ^{6} } \\ [/tex]

[tex] \large\bf{\red{ \longrightarrow}} \tt \: \frac{5}{6} \\ [/tex]

⇛Hence , the ratio will be 5 : 6
