Answer:

Number of boys = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of children in the class be x

Number of girls = 18

Number of boys = x - 18

Ratio of girls and boys = 3 : 2

Sum of the ratio = 5

Find the value of x

[tex]\frac{3}{5 } \times x = 18\\\\3 \times x = 18 \times 5\\\\x = \frac{90}{3} = 30[/tex]

Therefore, total number of children in the class = 30

Hence number of boys  = x - 18 = 30 - 18 = 12
