The total is 12+15 = 27. Therefore the girls represent 12/27 of the total. You can simplify the fraction if you so wish.

How many girls are in Feeling This Class if the ratio of boys to girls is 12 to 3 and there are 24 students in the class?

If the ratio of boys to girls is 12 to 3, then the total ratio is 12 + 3 = 15. To find how many girls are in the class, we divide the number of girls by the total ratio, 24 / 15 = 1.6. This means there are approximately 1.6 girls in the class. However, since we can't have a fraction of a girl, we can conclude that there are 2 girls in the class.
