Answer:
36 boys
Explanation:
The 3 part of the ratio relates to 54 girls.
Divide the number of girls by 3 to find the value of one part of the ratio.
54 ÷ 3 = 18 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus
2 parts = 2 × 18 = 36 ← number of boys
36
If you divide 54 by 3 you get 18. Now we get the ratio of boys which is 2 and you multiply it by 18 as 1 ratio I'm this case is 18.
Once you multiply the two numbers, you get 36 boys.
Hope this helps! :)
