ratio of girls to boys is 3:2....added = 5.....this means that 3/5 of the total students are girls and 2/5 of the total students are boys.

so if there are 50 students...
3/5(50) = 150/5 = 30 girls
2/5(50) = 100/5 = 20 boys

Using the ratio concept, the number of girls and the number of boys in the chorus is 30 and 20 respectively

The ratio distribution :

  • Girls : boys = 3 : 2

The number of girls :

[(3) ÷ (3+2)] × 50

(3 / 5) × 50

= 30 girls

The number of boys :

[(2) ÷ (2 + 3)] × 50

(2 / 5) × 50

= 20 boys

Hence, the number of girls and boys are 30 and 20 respectively
