Well, ratios are basically fractions. There are 12 boys, so the ratio is 12/25. Since 25 - 12 is 13, there are thirteen girls, so the ratio of girls to student is 13/25.

Sample response: The ratio of girls to students represents a fraction because it is a part-to-whole comparison. The ratio of boys to girls is not a fraction because it is a part-to-part comparison.
