Answer:

26

Explanation:

as the ratio is given you should divide ratio of boys by total ratio and multiply it by the total number of students, kinda like how in percentages you divide partial value/total value x 100, just in this case the total is 45 instead of 100. So
(4)/(7) * 45 = 25.7 which have to be rounded to 26
