Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of boys is 4/11
You need a number that is divisible by 11.
11 represents the number of students in the class. That was obtained by adding 4 and 7 together. So there are 4/11 boys and 7/11 girls.
You could try 33 which is between 24 and 40
4/11 * 33 = 12
There are twelve boys in the class.
7/11 * 33 = 21
There are 21 girls in the class.
21 + 12 = 33 which is exactly what you need.
