Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of boys to girls is 2:5
let the number of boys be 2x -------(i)
and number of girls be 5x
and the total number of students is 21
therefore we know that..
2x+5x = 21
on solving for x,
7x=21
x= 21/7
x=3
now, by putting the value of x in (i),
2x = 2×3 = 6
therefore, there are 6 boys in the classroom.
you find the no. of girls similarly.
hope it helps !!...
