To find how many of the students were girls, divide the total number of students (98) by the total parts in the ratio (3+4=7) to find each part. Then multiply the number of parts for girls (4) by the individual part value.

98 / 7 = 14

14 x 4 = 56

Therefore, there were 56 girls who participated in the community volunteer clean-up project.
