1. **State the problem:** A school has 600 students, 330 of whom are girls. We need to find the fraction of students who are boys in simplest terms.
2. **Identify the total number of boys:** Total students = 600, girls = 330, so boys = $600 - 330 = 270$.
3. **Write the fraction of boys:** Fraction = $\frac{\text{boys}}{\text{total students}} = \frac{270}{600}$.
4. **Simplify the fraction:** Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 270 and 600.
5. **Calculate GCD:** $\gcd(270,600) = 30$.
6. **Divide numerator and denominator by GCD:**
$$\frac{\cancel{270}^{9}}{\cancel{600}^{20}} = \frac{9}{20}$$
7. **Final answer:** The fraction of students who are boys in simplest terms is $\frac{9}{20}$.
