To find out the number of girls, we can use the ratio of boys to girls.

The ratio of boys to girls is 2:3, which means for every 2 boys there are 3 girls.

If there are 160 boys, we can set up the following equation:

2/3 = 160/x

Where x represents the number of girls.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

2x = 3 * 160

2x = 480

x = 240

Therefore, there are 240 girls.
