Answer 2

34.5

Approximately= 35

Explanation:

The ratio of the number of boys= 8

Ratio of number of girls= 5

Total ratio= 8+5=13

number of boys in that class =52

Let total number of students= X

Ratio of number of boys= 8/13 × X=52

= 8X/13 = 52

8X=13 × 52

8X= 676

X= 84.5

Then, the number of girls= (84.5-50)

34.5
