Answer : 52 boys : 26 girls

Step - by - step explanation :

Now we can guess, whatever number we put HAS to be 26 more boys than girls and it has to follow the 2 boys : 1 girl ratio . . .

26 boys : 13 girls <-- this follows the 2:1 ratio but is NOT 26 more boys than girls

52 boys : 26 girls <-- this follows the 2:1 ratio and has 26 more boys than girls ! :D
