Answer:
the number of boys =15
hope you understood
According to statement
Number of Girls =3/5 of Number of boys
Let Numbers of boys=x
Number of Girls =3x/5
Number of Girls + number of boys =total students
3x/5 + x = 40
3x+5x/5=40
8x/5=40
x=40*5/8
x=25
Number of Boys = 25
Number of Girls = 40-25=15
Hopefully it’s helpful for you
