Solution
Total strength of class (including boys and girls) = 65
Number of girls = 30
Number of boys = (65 – 30) = 35
(i) Ratio between girls and boys
`=30:35=30/35=6/7=6:7`
(ii) Ratio between boys and whole class
`35:65=35/65=7/13=7:13`
(iii) Ratio between whole class and girls
`65:30=65/30=13/6=13:6`
