Problem

There are 15 girls in a class of 27 students. What is the ratio of boys to girls in this class?

(Enter a ratio $a:b$ as a:b or a/b, where $a,b$ are in lowest terms.)

Solution

18 bananas cost the same as 12 apples, and 12 apples cost the same as 8 oranges, so 18 bananas cost the same as $8 \Rightarrow \mathrm {(B)}$ oranges.
