40 children. 24 girls is equal to 3/5 of the total amount of children. So, if we divide both sides by three we get exactly 1/5 of the total, which would be 8. Since 24 divided by 3 is equal to 8. Then we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to get 1/5 x 5= 5/5 = 1, and 8 x 5 is equal to 40.
We can check our answer by multiplying 40 by 3/5, which would be 120/5 = 24. In the question it says there were 24 girls so this should be the correct answer.
