14:30 or 7:15

Answer 2

In total, there are 14 boy and 16 Girls. So there are 14 + 16 = 30 students.

Moreover we draw a name of a boy randomly.

Therefore your prob P would be :

$\frac{14}{14+16} = \frac{14}{30} = \frac{7*2}{15*2}= \frac{7}{15}$

So, your answer would be : $P= \frac{7}{15}$.

Hope this helps !
