Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 36 boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students = 60

For every 5 boys there are 3 girls.

We can find the number of boys using ratio and proportions.

Let the number of boys be x

[tex]\frac{5}{3}= \frac{60}{x}[/tex]

[tex]5x=180[/tex]

x = 36

So, there are 36 boys out of 60.
