Answer:

15 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 27 students. The number of girls is only 4/5 of the number of boys. I started by splitting the class. 14 boys and 13 girls doesn't work, so I changed it to 12 and 15. If it was 12 girls and 15 boys, the girls would have 4/5 of the boys, so it must be 12 girls and 15 boys.

V = 37.68cm^3

So the volume is 37.68cm^3 which rounds to 37.7cm^3.
