18:35
Step-by-step explanation:
The get the number of students at Wood middle school we add 124 boys to 164 girls to get
[tex]124 + 164 = 288[/tex]
Similarly, the total number of students at Parker Middle School is
[tex]292 + 268 = 560[/tex]
The ratio of students at Wood Middle school to students at Parker Middle School
[tex] \frac{288}{560} [/tex]
We simplify to get:
[tex] \frac{18}{35} [/tex]
Therefore the required ratio is 18:35
