To find the ratio of the number of votes for skating to the number of votes for bowling, follow these steps:

1. Identify the number of votes for each option.
- Votes for skating: 30
- Votes for bowling: 13

2. Set up the ratio of the number of votes for skating to the number of votes for bowling.
- Ratio = [tex]\(\frac{\text{Votes for skating}}{\text{Votes for bowling}}\)[/tex]

3. Substitute the numbers into the ratio.
- Ratio = [tex]\(\frac{30}{13}\)[/tex]

Thus, the ratio of the number of votes for skating to the number of votes for bowling is [tex]\(\frac{30}{13}\)[/tex].

Therefore, the correct answer is:
(D) [tex]\(\frac{30}{13}\)[/tex]
