Answer 2

Answer:

there are 18 girls and 12 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

given, total no:of students = 30

boys:girls = 2:3

let the no:of boys be 2x and no:of girls be 3x.

then total no:of students = 2x + 3x = 5x

but, given that total students = 30

=> 5x = 30

=> x = 6

hence boys = 2x = 2×6 = 12

girls = 3x = 18.

hope ur doubt is cleared
