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.

To maintain the ratio of 2 cups of lemonade to 3 cups of cranberry juice, we can set up a proportion.
2 cups lemonade / 3 cups cranberry juice = 10 cups lemonade / x cups cranberry juice
By solving this proportion, we can find the value of x:
2/3 = 10/x
Cross-multiplying:
2x = 30
Dividing by 2:
x = 15
Therefore, Jamie would need to use 15 cups of cranberry juice.
The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is 2:7 per bag. If there are 8 red marbles, how many blue marbles are in the bag?
To find the number of blue marbles in the bag, we need to use the given ratio.
Since the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is 2:7, we can set up a proportion:
2 red marbles / 7 blue marbles = 8 red marbles / x blue marbles
By solving this proportion, we can find the value of x:
2/7 = 8/x
Cross-multiplying:
2x = 56
Dividing by 2:
x = 28
Therefore, there are 28 blue marbles in the bag.
