To find the ratio of boys to girls, we need to compare the number of boys to the number of girls.
Given that there are 143 girls and 91 boys in the school, we can express the ratio as follows:
Boys : Girls
To simplify the ratio, we need to divide both the number of boys and girls by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 143 and 91 is 13.
Dividing both 143 and 91 by 13, we get:
143 ÷ 13 = 11
91 ÷ 13 = 7
So, the simplified ratio of boys to girls is:
11 : 7
Therefore, the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form is 11:7.
