<h3>Given:</h3>

The ratio of number of girls and boys in a class of 30 students is 7:8

The ratio of number of girls and boys if 5 new boys admit in the class.

<h3>Assumption:</h3>

Let the number of students be x.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

According to the question,

7x + 8x = 30

or, 15x = 30

or, x = $\large {\tt {\frac{30}{15}}}$

or, x = 2

7x = 7(2) = 14

8x = 8(2) = 16

There were 14 boys and 16 girls in the school.

After admitting 5 new boys, we get

14 + 5 = <u>19</u>

The ratio of number of girls and boys now is 16:19.
