    1 to 2

    Explanation:

    Let G be girls and B be boys in the class

    Therefore,

    G/4 = (G+B) / 6

    Cross multiply, then

    6G = 4 (G + B)

    6G = 4G + 4B

    Then you collect similar terms,

    6G - 4G = 4B

    2G = 4B

    2/4 = B / G

    1/2 = B/G

    Therefore, ratio is 1:2
