Answer:
A 2:1
B 1:2
Step-by-step explanation:
If there is 24 students and 8 are girls, then 24 - 8 tells you how many are boys.
24 - 8 = 16.
There are 16 boys.
If there is 16 boys and 8 girls, the ratio would be 2 : 1 or 2/1 or 2 because 16 and 8 have a common factor of 8, so both sides can be divided by 8.
Hence the 8 : 2.
Ratios are commonly expressed with a colon, so that is going to be the symbol I'm using to differenciate the numbers.
We can just reverse the ratio since the original was boys to girls, but it is now girls to boys.
1:2
