Find Girls Count: First, find out how many girls are in the class by subtracting the number of boys from the total number of students.Calculation: 30 students - 14 boys = 16 girls.
Calculate Boy-Girl Ratio: Now, to get the boy-girl ratio, we compare the number of boys to the number of girls.Calculation: The ratio of boys to girls is 14 boys : 16 girls.
Simplify Ratio: We can simplify the ratio by dividing both numbers by the greatest common divisor, which is 2 in this case.Calculation: (14÷2):(16÷2)=7:8.
