Answer:

48 students in the class

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of girls to boys is 3 : 5 = 3x : 5x ( x is a multiplier ) , then

5x = 3x + 12 ( 12 more boys than girls )

Subtract 3x from both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

Then

number of girls = 3x = 3 × 6 = 18

number of boys = 5x = 5 × 6 = 30

total students in class = 18 + 30 = 48
