Answer:40 girls
Step-by-step explanation: boys : girls = 6 : 5
If we multiply 6 with 8 (6×8), we will get 48 (the number of boys in the classroom), so, we just need to multiply 5 with 8 too, to get the number of girls in the classroom.
5 × 8 = 40 girls
*48 : 40 Simplify it with 8 = 6 : 5
Sorry for my bad english (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
