Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a class of 40 pupils, the number of girls are 3/5 the number of boys.

This means that the amount of boys has to be 5/5.

The ratio from girls to boys is 3:5

We add 3 and 5 to combine both boys and girls in a class to make it 8/5.

3+5=8

To find out 1/5 of the class, we need to divide 8 from 40.

40÷8=5

=1/5

Since there are 5/5 boys, we can deduce or confirm that there are 25 boys in a class of 40.

Hope this helps. :)
