c) There are 32 students in a class. If the ratio of the number of boys and girls is 5:3, find the number of boys and girls. ​

Answer:

The no. of boys = 20

The no. of girls = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of no. of boys to girls = 5 : 3

[5 multiplied with something, and 3 multiplied with something, added together makes 32.Thus, that something = x]

5x + 3x = 32

= 8x = 32

=x = 32÷8 = 4

5x = 5 x 4 = 20

3x = 3 x 4 = 12

boys : girls = 5 : 3 (total ratio = 8)

boys = 5/8 x 32 = 20

girls = 3/8 x 32 = 12
