The ratio of boys to girls in a group is 5:3. If there are 24 more boys than girls, work out how many girls there are

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the # of boys and girls 5x and 3x respectively. We can write:

5x = 3x + 24

2x = 24

x = 12 so the # of girls = 12 * 3 = 36

solution,

Let the number of girls be X

Number of boys be 'x+24'

Now,
