Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a table

\left[\begin{array}{cc}boys&girls\\2&5\\2x&5x\end{array}\right]

2 : 5 is the same as 2x : 5x because you multiply both sides in 2:5 by x

If the ratio is 2x : 5x, what is the total?

2x + 5x = 7x

The total is 7x

However, we are given that there are 42 students

So, 7x = 42

x = 6

As we said earlier, boys = 2x

We know that x = 6, so 2x must equal to 12

There are 12 boys.

Hope this helps :)

Have a nice day!
