Answer: there are 5 more girls than boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys to girls in a classroom is 5:6. The total ratio is the sum of the proportion. It becomes 5 + 6 = 11

If there are 55 students in total, it means that the number of boys in the class is

5/11 × 55 = 25 boys

Also, the number of girls in the class is

6/11 × 55 = 30 girls

Therefore, the difference between the number of girls and boys in the class is

30 - 25 = 5 girls
