Answer:

28 girls

Explanation:

Given girls : boys ===> 7 : 12

i.e.

fraction all children who are girls = 7 / (7 + 12) = 7 / 19

fraction all children who are boys = 12 / (7 + 12) = 12 / 19

given that there are 76 children

number of girls = fraction of all children who are girls x total number of children

= 7/19 x 76

= 28 girls
