Answer 1

Answer:

25:45 or 5:9

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you want girls to all pupils, you just put that number against one another, there fore 25:45; but you can simplify it further because you can divide both by 5, therefore 5:9

Answer 2

Answer:

5: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students is

20+25 = 45

ratio is

boys : girls: total

20 :   25:    45

We can divide each of these by 5

20/5 : 25/5:  45/5

4       : 5       :  9

The ratio of girls to the total number is

5: 9
