12 1/4- 1 1/2 >>> Convert fractions to decimals:
12.25- 1.5 = 10.75 >>> Convert decimals back to fractions:
10 3/4 >>> Add miles from the morning: 10 + 10 3/4 = 20 3/4 miles
The answer is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .

Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given: The ratio of boys to girls is: " 3:2 " .
Problem: Find the ratio of "girls" to "all students:
________________________________________________________
Note: This ratio of "boys to girls", which is " 3 : 2 " ;
________________________________________________________
→ can be expressed as " 3x: 2x" ;
in which the total number of students is: " 3x + 2x " = 5x " .
→ The total number of students is represented as: " 5x " .
________________________________________________________
→ The ratio of "girls to boys" is: "2x : 3x" .
→ {that is; the "inverse" of the ratio of "boys to girls"} ;
→ {that is; the "inverse" of " 3x: 2x" } ; → which is: " 2x : 3x " .
________________________________________________________
The ratio of "girls" to "all students" is: "2x : 5x " ; or " 2x/5x " ;
→ Both "x" values cancel ; {since: " x/x = 1 "} ;
_________________________________________________________
→ and we have the answer: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 " .
_________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is: " 2 :5 " ; or, write as: " 2/5 ".
