Answer 2

Answer:

18,30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of girls in the class be 'x'.

Then, the number of boys = (3/5) * x.

Given that total students = 48

Now,

⇒ x + (3/5)x = 48

⇒ x + (3x/5) = 48

⇒ 8x = 240

⇒ x = 30.

Then:

⇒ (3x/5) = 90/5 = 18.

Therefore:

Number of boys = 18.

Number of girls = 30.

Hope it helps!
