To find the simplest form of the ratio of boys to girls, we need to divide both the number of boys and girls by the greatest common divisor.
The greatest common divisor of 12 and 15 is 3.
Dividing both numbers by 3, we get:
12 ÷ 3 = 4
15 ÷ 3 = 5
Therefore, the simplest form of the ratio of boys to girls is 4:5.
