a. The number of boys that are in the classes is equal to 32 boys.

b. The number of girls that are in the classes is equal to 48 girls.

  • Let the boys be B.
  • Let the girls be G.
  • Let the total students be T.

Given the following data:

  • Total students = 18 animals
  • Ratio of B to G = 2:3
  • Total ratio= 2 + 3 = 5

a. To determine the number of boys that are in the classes:

For the boys:

[tex]B= \frac{2}{5} \times 80\\\\B=\frac{160}{5}[/tex]

B = 32 boys

b. To determine the number of girls that are in the classes:

[tex]T = B + G\\\\80=32+G\\\\G=80-32[/tex]

G = 48 girls
