3:2 is correct. Since there are 9 boys there must be 6 girls, and 9:6 reduces to 3:2.

The correct answer is B. 3:2

Answer:

Option: B is the correct answer.

                 B.   3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 15 players in the softball team.

The number of boys in the team are: 15

Hence, the number of girls in the team are:

Total number of players-Number of boys.

= 15-9

= 6

Hence, the ratio of boys to girls are:

[tex]Ratio=\dfrac{\text{Number\ of\ boys}}{\text{Number\ of\ girls}}\\\\i.e.\\\\Ratio=\dfrac{9}{6}\\\\\\Ratio=\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]

        Hence, the ratio is:

                     3:2
