Answer:

If you are trying to find the exact number of girls, the answer is 660 girls. If you are finding the percentage, the answer is 55%

Explanation:

You multiply 1200 by .45 to find the number of boys there are, you get 540. You subtract that from 1200 to get the amount of girls, which is 660.
