Sorry. 24 does not divide into 5 equal parts. You probably mean that there are 24 boys, or that there are 24 girls.
If boys, then 24/g = 2/3
g = 36
If there were 25 total students, then
(25-g)/g = 2/3
75-3g = 2g
g = 15
the ratio of boys to girls in class is 2:3. If Ms. Wise has 24 students in her class, how many girls are in the class. Please show work
