Let's say the number of boys is x.
The number of girls is 5/8*x = (5/8)*x = (5/8)*442 = 0.625*442 = 276.25
The boys are x = 442-276.25 = <<442-276.25=165.75>>165.75 more than the girls. Answer: \boxed{165.75}.
The number of girls is 5 8 of the number of boys. If there are 442 children together, how many more boys than girls are there?
