12 students are left handed.

i hope this helps!:)

Answer:

12 left-handed students

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio 2:3 indicates 2 left-handed students for every 3 right-handed students.  This means 2 left-handed students are expected for every 5 total students.  You can use this information and set up and solve the proportion 2/5 = x/30
