In a class five out of every eight students are boys. if there are 24 studenta in class, hiw many girls are they?

So to solve this you can set up a ratio:
First we need to find out how many boys there are

5/8=x/24

then multiply 5 by 24 = 120
then divide by 8 which gives you 15 Boys out of the class

then since there are 24 students and 15 are boys subtract the two with gives you 9 girls.

this is assuming that everyone identifies as a male or female.
