Answer:

  • 12 boys
  • 20 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students (32) corresponds to the total number of ratio units (3+5 = 8), so each ratio unit represents 32/8 = 4 students.

The 3 ratio units representing boys will stand for 3×4 = 12 boys.

The 5 ratio units representing girls will stand for 5×4 = 20 girls.

There are 12 boys and 20 girls in Janice's classroom.

<em>Additional comment</em>

I find the above solution to be the easiest.

You can also write a system of equations. Let b and g represent the numbers of boys and girls, respectively.

  b/g = 3/5

  b +g = 32

Multiplying the first equation by g gives an expression for b that can be substituted into the second equation:

  b = (3/5)g

  (3/5)g +g = 32

  8/5g = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  g = (5/8)(32) = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . . multiply by 5/8

  b = (3/5)(20) = 3·4 = 12 . . . . . . . find b using the value of g
