Let's denote the number of boys as "5x" and the number of girls as "6x" (since the ratio of boys to girls is 5:6).
We know that the total number of boys and girls is 44, so we can write the equation:
5x + 6x = 44
Combining like terms:
11x = 44
Dividing both sides by 11:
x = 4
Therefore, the number of boys in the class is 5x = 5 * 4 = 20 boys.
