Correct answer: B

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the ratio of the number of boys from College D to the number of boys from College B, we must first extract the values from the provided bar chart.

  1. Extract Data for Boys:

    • The blue bars represent the number of boys in thousands.

    • For College D: The blue bar aligns with the value 22.5 (halfway between 20 and 25).

    • For College B: The blue bar aligns with the value 25.

  2. Calculate the Ratio:

    • Ratio = (Boys from D) / (Boys from B)

    • Ratio = 22.5 / 25

    • To simplify, multiply both numbers by 10 to remove the decimal: 225 / 250

    • Divide both by 25: 225 ÷ 25 = 9, and 250 ÷ 25 = 10

    • The ratio is 9:10.
