Answer:

36 boys are going on the trip

Explanation:

given data

total students = 48

girls = One-fourth

to find out

How many boys are going on the trip

solution

first we find One-fourth part of total students

so total girls are One-fourth that mean =
(48)/(4)

girls =
(48)/(4) = 12

if there 12 girls so remaining are boys

so boys are = total students - girls

boys = 48 - 12

boys = 36

so 36 boys are going on the trip
