1. The problem asks for the ratio of Toyin's age to Ade's age.
2. Toyin is 16 years old and Ade is 12 years old.
3. The ratio is therefore $$\frac{16}{12}$$.
4. Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by 4:
$$\frac{16 \div 4}{12 \div 4} = \frac{4}{3}$$.
5. So, the ratio of Toyin's age to Ade's age is **4:3**.

1. Find the ratio of Tola's height to Funmilola's height.
2. Tola's height is 1.10 m and Funmilola's is 1.25 m.
3. The ratio is $$\frac{1.10}{1.25}$$.
4. Convert to fractions or decimals:
$$\frac{1.10}{1.25} = \frac{110}{125}$$.
5. Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 5:
$$\frac{110 \div 5}{125 \div 5} = \frac{22}{25}$$.
6. So, the ratio of Tola's height to Funmilola's height is **22:25**.

1. A bag has 40 oranges, 15 of which are bad.
2. The good oranges = 40 - 15 = 25.
3. We want the ratio of bad oranges to good oranges:
$$\frac{15}{25}$$.
4. Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 5:
$$\frac{15 \div 5}{25 \div 5} = \frac{3}{5}$$.
5. The ratio of bad to good oranges is **3:5**.

1. Find the ratio of 12 m to 15 m.
2. The ratio is $$\frac{12}{15}$$.
3. Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 3:
$$\frac{12 \div 3}{15 \div 3} = \frac{4}{5}$$.
4. So, the ratio is **4:5**.

1. The ratio of boys to girls is 5 : 8.
2. There are 25 boys.
3. Let the number of girls be $$x$$.
4. Set up the proportion:
$$\frac{5}{8} = \frac{25}{x}$$.
5. Cross multiply:
$$5x = 8 \times 25$$
$$5x = 200$$
6. Divide both sides by 5:
$$x = \frac{200}{5} = 40$$.
7. So, there are **40 girls** in the class.
