Answer: 16 girls

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the total number of students in the school by multiplying 32 by the ratio of girls to all the students, which is 5:8.

32 x (5/8) = 20

Step 2: Subtract the result from 32 to get the number of girls in the school.

32 - 20 = 12

Step 3: Multiply the result by the ratio of girls to all the students, which is 5:8.

12 x (5/8) = 16
