Answer:

The correct answer is 7 : 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 14 girls and 2 boys taking karate lessons.

Total number of students taking the karate class is 16.

The ratio that compares the number of girls taking karate lessons to the total number of students taking karate lessons is given by 14 : 16 = 7 : 8.

This can be interpreted as for every 8 students in the karate lesson, 7 of them are girls.
