Answer:

60

Explanation:

If 3 out of 5 students are boys, then the ratio of boys to total students is 3:5.

To find out how many boys there would be out of 100 students, you can set up a proportion:

3/5 = x/100

Cross-multiplying gives:

5x=300

Dividing both sides by 5:

x = 60

So, if the same ratio holds, there would be 60 boys out of 100 students.
