Average weight is the total weight divided by the number of people.
To find the average weight of boys, we first look for the total weight of all (boys + girls), and the total weight of the girls.

Weight of all (boys + girls):
44 * 50 = 2200 kg

Weight of girls:
40 * (50 - 40)
40 * 10 = 400 kg
The total number of girls is 50-40 because it's stated that there are 50 students in a class of which 40 are boys and the rest are girls.

To get the total weight of boys, we subtract the weight of all by the weight of girls:
2200 - 400 = 1800 kg
Since there are 40 boys, the average weight of boys is:
1800 / 40 = 45 kg
