Given:

The ratio of boys to girls is [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex].

Number of boys = 24

To find:

The number of girls.

Solution:

We have,

Boys: Girls = 4:5

Let the number of boys be 4x and number of girls be 5x.

[tex]4x=24[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{24}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=6[/tex]

Now,

Number of girls = [tex]5x[/tex]

                          = [tex]5(6)[/tex]

                          = [tex]30[/tex]

Therefore, the number of girls is 30.
