• Ratio of boys and girls in a class = 3:2
• Total number of students = 40

ᴛᴏ ꜰɪɴᴅ :-

• Total number of girls

ꜱᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ :-

**Let the number of boys be 3x and girls be 2x**

✪ According to question ✪

➪ 3x + 2x = 40

➪ 5x = 40

➪ x = 40/5

➪ x = 8

Hence,

• Number of girls in a class = 2x = 16
• Number of boys in a class = 3x = 24

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of girls in the class is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the ratio of boys and girls in a class is 3:2. If the total number of students in a class is 40.

We have to find the total number of girls in the class.

Assume that the number of boys in the class is 3x and girls is 2x.

Total number of students = Number of boys + Number of girls

Substitute the values,

→ 40 = 3x + 2x

→ 40 = 5x

→ x = 8

Hence, the number of:

• boys = 3x = 3(8) = 24
• girls = 2x = 2(8) = 16
