Answer:

10 girls

Explanation:

If 3/5 of the class consists of boys, (5/5 - 3/5 = 2/5) : 2/5 are girls

3/5 x 25 = 15

2/5 (girls) = 25 - 15

Therefore, 10 girls in total

There are 10 girls in the class. You want to multiply (3/5)x25, once product is found, you subtract it from 25, the product is 15, so 25-15=10girls
