We know that the total is 40 students, and 24 of them are girls, then the fraction that represents it is


(24)/(40)

But we must simplify the fraction, let's divide the denominator and numerator by 4


(24)/(40)=(6)/(10)

Now we can do it again by 2


(24)/(40)=(6)/(10)=(3)/(5)

Therefore the correct answer is the letter B.


(3)/(5)
