From the question;

The ratio of boys to girls is


\begin{gathered} Girls\text{ : Boys} \\ 3\text{ : 4} \end{gathered}

Increasing the ratio


\begin{gathered} 3\text{ : 4 = 3}*9\colon4*9\text{ } \\ \text{ = 27 : 36} \end{gathered}

So therefore,

The possible number of the girls is 27 and the possible number of the boys is 36
