In a class there are 20 boys and 15 girls. The ratio of boys to girls is:
To find the ratio of boys to girls, we simply put the number of boys first, followed by the number of girls. So, it's 20 : 15. However, to simplify the ratio, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 20 and 15 and divide both numbers by it:

Divide both numbers by 5: 20 ÷ 5 = 4, 15 ÷ 5 = 3.
So, the simplified ratio is 4 : 3, which corresponds to option (a).
