⚜ Part 1 - #of Students ⚜

First we should find the total number of students. This can be done by adding the number of boys in this particular math class plus the number of girls in that same class. This is shown below.

`\boldsymbol{Number\;of\,students=\quad Number\;of\;Girls+\;Number\;of\;boys}`

The number of girls is 11, and the number of boys is 8. Now, it's just a matter of sticking in the known values.

`\multimap\quad \tt 8+11=19\;Students`

`\large\text{Part 1 is Successfully Completed!}`

⚜Part 2 - Ratio ⚜

Let's set up a ratio of boys to the total number of students.

This is shown below:

`\boldsymbol{Boys:Total\:\#\;of\;students}`

Once again, this is simply a matter of sticking in the known values.

`\multimap\quad \tt 8:19`

`\large\text{Part 2 is Successfully Completed!}`

What's more, we found the ratio, which is what we needed! (:

Voila! There's our answer, cheers! (:
