Answer:

a. 18

b. 45

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states that 2/5 of the class are girls which means 3/5 are boys:

[tex]\frac{3}{5} = 27[/tex]

Divide this value by 3 to get the value of [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]:

27 ÷ 3 = 9

Multiply this by 5 to find [tex]\frac{5}{5}[/tex], the total pupils in the class:

9 x 5 = 45

As the number of girls is [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of the total pupils:

9 x 2 = 18

So there are 18 girls in the class which has a total pupil size of 45.

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

according to question of ⅖ are girls than ⅗ are boys

so let the number of girls be x

so,

→ ⅗ of x = 27

→ x = 27 × 5/3 = 9×5 = 45

→ x = 45

a ) 45 - 27 = 18

than no. of girls is 18.

b) thier are 45 students in total.
