Answer 2

Answer:

30 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

this can be done by 2 methods

1st let the no of boys be X

no of girls will be 3x/5

ATQ

X+3x/5= 48

(5x+3x)/5=48

8x= 48*5

X= 240/8

X=30

2nd method

let the no of boys be X

so, no of girls = 3x/5

ratio of boys to girls= X:3x/5

= 5x:3x

total=8x

ATQ, 8x= 48

5x= (5x*48)/8x

=30
